University of Ottawa Students' Union
2,482 undergraduate students voted in the elections; a turnout rate of 6.74 per cent. This is notably a point lower than the turnout for the most recent by-election which had 2,999 ballots cast for a 7.7 per cent turn out — the highest by-election turnout in UOSU’s brief history.
While the Union pledged an annual budget of $175,000 for scholarships and bursaries in 2022, the current program has experienced a decrease of $45,000 in its current iteration.
On Oct. 4, the Fulcrum received an anonymous article submission raising concerns with many elements of the Union’s operations, the most pressing of which being the ongoing by-elections.
Debates for UOSU Communications Commissioner and President will be held bilingually, moderated by the staff of the Fulcrum and La Rotonde.
