Members of the Class of 2012 are scheduled to vote today in a special election to fill a vacant Tufts Community Union Senate seat.
Juniors Jonathan Danzig and Jibade Sandiford are vying for the position, which was vacated on Nov. 7 when senior Ian Hainline resigned, citing problems with the nature of the discourse of the body as the impetus for his resignation.
Voting began at midnight and is expected to take place until midnight tonight.
"I think both of the candidates have done a good job publicizing," Elections Commission Chair Katherine McManus, a sophomore, said last night. She added that junior class elections can be complicated because many juniors study abroad or live off campus.
The candidates participated in an open forum Tuesday night. Danzig, who is studying abroad in Chile, participated via Skype.
