The chart above displays the amount of votes each candidate received during the election.

The results show that Jordan Sullivan received the most votes for SGA treasurer and Brianna Buchanan received the most votes for SGA freshman senator.

According to Director of Student Life Mike Severy's email to UNCP's student body, the SGA will take one treasurer and five first year senators.

Out of 6,650 students, only 158 voted in the election. That’s only 2.37 percent of students participating in the election

The election link was accessible to any student who successfully logged into BraveWeb. The election was switched this year to BraveWeb by the Department of Information Technologies to make it more accessible to students. In the past, the election link was only accessible from UNCP's previous email carrier, Webmail.

The SGA election was postponed twice this semester so that DoIT could have time to make the election link accessible from BraveWeb.

The election started on Sept. 23 and ended on Sept. 24 at 11:59 p.m.
