Fall 2020 Vice Presidential and WEEF Director Election Results

The full breakdown of the votes are provided below. A ranked ballot system was used for each ballot. A candidate was elected if they received a majority of votes out of the ballots cast. If no majority was reached, the candidate with the least number of first choice votes was eliminated and the second place votes on those ballots were redistributed, in several rounds until the majority quota was reached.
