Winter 2023 B Society Presidential Election Results

The votes for the presidential election are in! Thank you to the candidates for your excellent campaigns and your hard work! We look forward to electing the remaining executive team during the remainder of this term. The results for the election are as follows:

Engineering B Society President: Dylan Ellingson

The full breakdown of the votes are provided below. A ranked ballot system was used, where 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. This would repeat until a majority was reached. Please contact cro.b@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca if you have any questions or concerns.
