USG election results from all campuses, except Tempe, have been released.


Unofficial results for Undergraduate Student Government elections on the West, Polytechnic and Downtown Phoenix campuses have been released. The executive tickets on those three campuses all ran unopposed. 

The results for the USG Tempe elections will not be released until Monday, April 3, at noon. 

Elections Commissioner Gazal Chhabra said the delay is due to "pending complaint reviews and the pending advisory opinions from the ASASU Supreme Court."

Jackson Bush was elected as the new election commissioner for USG for the upcoming academic year.
