From February 29th – March 4th, you, as a UBC student, have a very important task to complete – to vote in the 2016 AMS Elections! For a representative democratic system to function properly, the right to vote is key; UBC cannot properly represent your needs unless you include your input in the form of a vote. If that didn’t sway you into voting, keep in mind that you give money to the AMS through your student fees. Don’t you want to make sure that your money is used wisely? Taking the time to vote is an essential step in keeping UBC accountable to our needs. To help you with this process, HCUBC has compiled a list of all of the candidates along with links to their websites and platforms. Get to know the candidates and make sure to vote!
