2009 Elections Ballot

Please note you have 20 minutes to complete the ballot. If your ballot times out, you must login to restart your ballot.

Implementing Regulations

Compulsory campus-based fees may be established, eliminated, or modified in an election in which a majority (50% + 1) of a minimum voting pool of twenty five percent (25%) of the overall affected student body (according to official third week enrollment figures) votes to approve or to modify the fee. The imposition of a compulsory fee passed by referendum is subject to concurrence of the Chancellor and approval of the President.

Abstentions will not count toward the establishment of minimum voting pool requirements. The establishment of the minimum voting pool will be determined on an individual basis for each measure on the ballot (i.e. the sum of "yes" and "no" votes on each individual measure must equal or exceed the minimum voting pool required).

Fee Measures

Measure 38 [Undergraduate and Graduate]

Amend the Renewable Energy Fee passed in Spring 2006

Shall the undergraduates and graduate students of UCSC amend the Renewable Energy fee passed in Spring 2006? The Measure is being amended to provide funding for on-site renewables and energy efficient projects that will directly reduce our campus' carbon footprint, in combination with supporting a local offset program and purchasing renewable energy certificates to offset campus emissions. This is not a new fee, but a continuation of the existing $3 per quarter fee established by Measure 28 . The amended terms will be effective Fall Quarter 2009.
