MSA Senate passes a bill changing the election process of at-large senators
The Missouri Students Association passed a bill on Wednesday changing the procedure for electing at-large senators.
The bill was written in response to the large influx of students who attempted to run at-large in early September. Bill co-author Sean Haynes said this presented an issue in implementing a fair voting process.
The bill requires those students running at-large to submit a resume to the Speaker or the Clerk of the Senate which voting senators may review prior to voting. Additionally, the bill states that only 10 senators may be elected at each Senate session, regardless of the number of available spots or the number of interested applicants.
