Junior Jibade Sandiford won a special election to fill a vacant Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate seat, the Elections Commission (ECOM) announced this morning.
Sandiford beat out his lone opponent, junior Jonathan Danzig, for the open seat. Senior Ian Hainline's Nov. 7 resignation from the Senate vacated the seat, which dropped down to the junior class.
Twenty-two percent of the Class of 2012 voted in the election, according to ECOM Chair Katherine McManus, a sophomore. Turnout was lower compared to other special elections that have been held this fall, according to McManus.
