Two pairs of UOSA presidential running mates and their supporters campaigned Monday on the South Oval, asking students to return to online polls for the run-off election.
Election chairman Michael Ukpong said 2,150 people had voted as of 5 p.m. Monday.
Ukpong said there hadn’t been any problems or irregularities in the voting.
In the general election, 2,863 votes were cast on the first day, and 5,282 total votes were cast.
Students can vote until 9 tonight by logging on to elections.ou.edu.
Franz Zenteno, with running mate Cory Lloyd, and Ally Glavas, with Zac McCullock, are vying for UOSA president and vice president.
In the first election, Glavas was initially announced as the winner, but the automatic electronic run off did not comply with the UOSA constitution, and the Superior Court ordered a run off.
As the run-off election continues, both sets of candidates said they feel the election is going well.
“This is what we love,” McCullock said. “We got here at 7 a.m. and we were ready to go.”
Glavas said she spoke to many students and is optimistic about her chances.
“It’s easier now that there are only two [candidates],” Glavas said.
Zenteno echoed Glavas’ optimism.
“We’ve gotten a really good response from students,” Zenteno said.
He said he has been publicizing the recall election through social network sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
It’s important all students vote in the run-off election, Zenteno said.
