| Remarks | FAILED - Less than a 5% increase in voting in the past. Higher potential for fraud, and costly. |
| Whereas | On any given academic day, students are dispersed throughout the campus primarily according to academic discipline; and |
| Whereas | There is presently one polling site for student elections, located at the University Center; and |
| Whereas | This polling site is not conveniently accessible to the entire campus; and |
| Whereas | Student elections should strive to accurately represent student opinion; and |
| Whereas | Student Congress should strive to increase constituent participation. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Additional polling sites, serving different geographic regions of the campus, be implemented in future student elections; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | That this resolution takes effect in the student body elections of Fall 1997. |
