RHA to hold Senate re-elections

Due to computing errors, Residence Hall Association will be holding re-elections for the Residence Hall Senate on Tuesday, Sept. 27. The new winners will be announced Friday, Sept. 30 at 5 p.m. on rhatemple.com.

According to an email sent to all residents, RHA reported electronic errors that may have botched the numbers. Ballots for the first election were previously cast online, so RHA will now be hosting re-elections across campus through a “hand-written ballot system located at each building’s front office.” Students must present their TUids “to ensure voting legitmacy.”
