Election Results

banquo

I'll be posting them on here from the Mature Students' room as they come out.

banquo

A complaint that was made that the USI referendum was unconstitutional has been overturned (about 10 this morning), so the referendum is valid and will go ahead.

All the ballot boxes have been emptied and ballots are being sorted into piles. No counting of any position has begun yet.

banquo

Total elibigle, not actual voters: 7,626
Quote to win: 1,144

USI and St. Pat's rep being counted now.

BOO-YA!

Is there any room in the mature student's room?

Over 7,000 voters? Seriously?

Yes

Hmm, how soon can I get a bus to Maynooth...

1 o'clock I think

ok, CnaG is on her way over to maynooth for the count

banquo

Micheal Hughes (schmici) is deemed elected as St. Pat's rep.

Counting of Irish and Cultural Affairs Officer has begun.

Norrdeth

Oooooh the suspense!!

funky penguin

That is a HUGE turnout!

banquo

A large turnout like that worries me tbh. If it was up to me, it would have been snow and hail and a flu epidemic. Lower turnout favours Aengus and I.

Holda

Nonsense! Most of us have sense enough to see (especially after Tuohy's people were so head wrecking yesterday) that he wouldn't be any good for the college.

I'm especially annoyed about their rape of 'All You Need is Love'. Just plain wrong.

funky penguin

Although in terms of voter turnout, its a great positive to see.

I'm still confident in you two.

I'd be of the same opinion unfortunately

Some people were just standing around the polling area getting people to stop and vote for Touhy, with numbers like that you'd wonder if it would matter what kind of campaigning anyone did. 7k+ it's only gonna be a few hundred who actually will be voting on merit.

300 in a facebook group doesn't seem so much anymore:eek:

Redemptist

Tuohy does not have a chance. Honest to God, his campaign was brutal.
Worry not, the students of Maynooth are not so foolish!
There's ample hope

banquo

Just to clear up: that was 7,626 eligible voters. Actual voter turnout was 2,887 (by my calculations, there's no official number yet)

eevyhayes

I think Tuohy has as just a good chance as anyone.

Well, there were only two people running for that position.

eevyhayes

Well he has a good chance of getting it too, he had loads of voters yesturday and good look to him.

LeixlipRed

Good look to him indeed. He's a ride.

metalking6488

rob deserves it!! his campaign was excellent! its not just about being a crowd pleaser, its also knowing what your doing!

banquo

For the record, I have no idea who Metalking6488 is, but I applaud his sentiment

USI part 1 has passed with about 70% of the vote. Part two is being counted now.

Irish Officer: Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin is deemed elected.

jppbesq

Caoimhghín ~1100 votaí
Naoise Ó Cearúil ~770 votaí

Tá Caoimhghín tofa. Go n-éirí leis.

mickstupp

Good luck Rob, fingers crossed.

Wow! Did not see him winning by that much!

*assuming that means Caoimhgín won*

metalking6488

can't believe naoise lost!! who doesn't know him?

banquo

USI part 2 passed. Ents and Finance being counted.

Ataxia

Schmick and USI passed. Deadly. Arise ye workers...

BarnhallBull

Caoimhghín tofa :cool:

Pleasantly surprised by that, thought Naoise would get it but I can't overstate the idiocy of publishing his piece in the candidates's handbook entirely through English!

Delighted Caoimhghín got it, a far more polished campaign IMO and he'll do very well i'm sure.

I feel like I'm waiting on someone to have a baby here!
Well done to everyone!!

banquo

Word is that it looks - as in nothing is definite - that declan has finance. We'll see if it goes to second preferences or not.

banquo

It looks like Pat Byrne has ents in the bag on the first count.

Duddy

*fingers crossed for Declan*


Delighted with the results so far, No campaigners will be sickened:P

banquo

Right, I'm heading in now because they'll be starting on Comms soon. I'm sure someone else will keep ye all updated.

Duddy

Best of luck Rob!!

Aurongroove

this is the most suspence ever since Beethoven suspended a sheet of suspended cadences on a suspended bridge.

Ms. Koi

A recount is being done on Ents at the moment but nothing is definite at the moment.

Any provisional results there? Who's in with a shot? Recounts are usually done when there's no more than 100 or so votes between them right?

Ms. Koi

Will post in a few minutes, almost at official result.

Duddy

F**K me this is tense!

Ms. Koi

It's unreal!!!!

Ms. Koi

Declan Meenagh has finance.

Duddy

For defo?!??

DEADLY.

Caxi

Another one down then.

Can't wait for Comms result; hoping Rob has Tuohy for breakfast. Or maybe supper if the suspense continues to roll like this.

Ms. Koi

Lads I feel sick! Feel free to come over to the SU...im a nervous wreck over here!!

Seren_

F5 has become my new favourite button :pac:

Well done to everyone that's won so far! I can't imagine how nerve-racking it must be over there.

metalking6488

jesus someone really doesnt want tuohy 2get it!! bit harsh now and in fairness i do support rob!!

Ms. Koi

Every time that door opens my heart stops! it's good craic though and all of the candidates are all quite pale!!

Duddy

C'mon man, have you seen the t-shirts? It's like the baby boom from around the time of Wham! has just come into proper fruition...
