[mispy]

Is there a list of candidates and a summary of their policies anywhere?

I believe I'll vote for Kevin Dunion.

[Eliot Wilson]

Morton? Mooooorton! Your fork's ready.

I believe I'll vote for Kevin Dunion.

I award you one point. (Collect seven to win a prize).

[Freaker]

Vote vote vote! Get out there and make your voice heard!

Physics (9am - 1pm)
Students' Association Building (10am - 6pm)
Library (10am - 6pm)

Don't forget your matric card.

[exnihilo]

Any predictions on turnout? I'll be surprised if it tops 1,200.

[Freaker]

I say 1000, give or take a hundred. When I asked them about 30 minutes ago, they had had 8% of students vote - whatever that translates as in terms of numbers.

Interesting. That's exactly what they said at noon. I'm pretty sure some people voted between noon and 2pm.

I reckon 1450ish.

Vote Kevin Dunion OBE.

I found it quite refreshing that on passing Sir Chay Blyth on my way into the library, he handed me a flyer and said "I won't harrass you"

On the other hand, he tried to hand me a flyer 6 times, even though I was campaigning for Kevin Dunion and I had already met him previously. He seems very nice though and completely harmless.

Potentially more annoying was a Colin Fox supporter trying to hand me a flyer whilst I was carrying a wardrobe (don't ask).

And in fact, even worse - I'm sat in the library (trying) to work and I'm still bloody shivering - it is damn cold out there!
I feel I should know this, but when are the results announced?

I was told they were trying to finish counting by 8pm. Not sure where they are counting, though, but I presume results will appear on the Sinner soon afterwards. I'll be in the Union Main Bar later for post-campaigning drinks, I'll post back here with results if nobody beats me to it.

PS: We seem to be making it past the 1700 votes cast mark!

Edit: Seems there were 1859 votes cast (unless any more came in last minute). Anyone dare make predictions for the final result?

Well done Mr Dunion

[Bizarre Atheist]

Kevin Dunion OBE, nice guy and all round legend, wins on first preference!! Well done St Andrews, a triumph of common sense.

Lord Rector Kevin Dunion, get used to it!

[Lid]

Word from the count is that Kevin Dunion has stormed the polls, with Colin Fox 2nd, Sir Chay 3rd.

[Freaker]

Fantastic. What a mandate - well done, St Andrews. Be proud of yourselves.

I bought a ticket for the Wednesday show because of that wardrobe. Unless several wardrobes were hanging around the library and I've got the wrong one ...

V happy re Dunion.

Yes, the wardrobe was for the Wednesday show you mention. Many thanks for buying a ticket!

and may I also echo the Dunion congratulations. Seemed to me to be the best man for the job!

[Dave the Explosive Newt]

Well done KD. Any numbers?

[What?]

According to the University's official news page (and I was astounded it was updated for this morning...)

Mr Dunion, who will officially take up his post tomorrow (Saturday 1 November), won by 941 votes to Fox's 515 and Blyth's 401. The total vote count of 1859 represented 26% of the full-time student population at St Andrews.

Quite resounding then I'd say. Congratulations to Mr Dunion, far and away the best candidate for the job.
