23.34: Wrapping up. Results soon. 

23.18: Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett, who were outside, are asked to enter the Common Room. The rest of the candidates are already inside. 

23.13: In the final processes. Soon soon 

22.43: Counting of votes continues 

22.13: Actual counting process about to start. Votes will be divided into ‘SDM’, ‘MI’, ‘Mixed’ and ‘Dubious’

Any form of mark in the box near the candidate’s name is accepted. Anything depreciative written near a candidate’s name renders that particular vote as ‘dubious’; anything depreciative written on the paper renders the whole vote ‘dubious’.

We have been asked to leave the Common Room. The candidates have also been asked to leave the room. 

Any member from both teams has the right to object to any vote. 

22.08: Three votes not found (it is possible that the voter walked out with the vote). However, both teams agree that the counting should start. Otherwise, all other votes were accounted for. 

22.10: It seems that votes from UoM-1 were put by mistake in the box UoM-2. (Votes from different boxes have different stamps. That is how the mistake was figured out.)

21.54: UOM-1 votes did not match. Official figure is 651 votes. Re-counting.  

21.51: Checking that all votes are in batches of 50 

21.43: Total votes:

JC-02 – 142/1250 

JC-01 – 340/1300

IHC - 70/1512

Bighi – 3/21

21.36: Third interesting vote of the night – with the words “Komplu ghodd a l***. Dan ghalik Mario Frendo (Sec Gen of SDMJC) a faxxist.”

21.35: Second interesting vote of the night – with the words “KSU tirbhu imma KSJC inz*****” 

21.33: First interesting vote of the night. Description: No vote declared on the official boxes. On the other side of the paper, box drawn and ticked under the word ‘Pulse’ 

There are 8 people counting the votes on 4 different tables. Each table is sorting the votes from a different box. 

21.30: Bighi box sorted. JC-02 box being opened

For those of you not familiar with the voting process, currently boxes being opened are first checked to make sure they are sealed and then opened. Once opened, votes are being separated into batches of 50 votes (face down) by each of the counters.

21.21: Third box – Gozo being opened = Empty. Moving on to Bighi instead. 

21.19: Third box – JC being opened 

21.17: Second box – UOM2 being opened 

21.15: First box of UOM1 being opened.

21.13: SDM & MI candidates and representatives enter – 5 from each team

21.03: Waiting for boxes to be opened. Can you feel the suspense?

20.46: Nothing much going on. Scratch that. Nothing going on right now. For those of you outside refreshing constantly and putting up our hit counter, thank you.

20.36: UOM1 - 651

UOM2 – 635

Total – 1286 

(UOM1 & UOM2 are how the voting booths were divided based on faculty i.e. all students voted in UOM1 or UOM2 depending on which faculty they belonged to.) 

20.25: SDM members are waiting outside in the Quad. There doesn’t seem to be any of the Moviment Indipendenti candidates present.  

20.20: Voting monitors have just exited 

20.08: Gigi the student house cat is on security patrol. Constant vigilance. 

20.01: Here’s what is going to happen:  Voting booths have closed. There will now be the reconciliation of votes (checking how many eligible voters there are,  how many actually voted, checking the signatures of those who voted).

After this the signatures of those who voted are double-checked. Then the room will be prepared for the counting process. Seven members of the electoral commission will be counting, and five counting agents from each team can stay in the room.

The candidate can enter while his votes are being counted.

19.36: Hmmm: Till 14.00, no one from the Gozitan Campus had voted. Aa yes, such a strong interest in the KSU elections 

KSU Elections were held today, with polling booths open from 08.00 till 20.00.

The elections were contested by Carl Grech, Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett from SDM and Andre Vella, Robert Fenech and Mark Camilleri from Moviment Indipendenti. They are contesting for the roles of President, Sec Gen and KPS Social Policy Coordinator respectively.

Voting booths were set up at the University of Malta, Junior College, Institute of Health Care, Bighi and the Gozo Campus.

By 14.00 1296 out of the 12,983 eligible students had voted. This means that a mere 9.98% of eligible students had cast their votes.

23.34: Wrapping up. Results soon. 

23.18: Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett, who were outside, are asked to enter the Common Room. The rest of the candidates are already inside. 

23.13: In the final processes. Soon soon 

22.43: Counting of votes continues 

22.13: Actual counting process about to start. Votes will be divided into ‘SDM’, ‘MI’, ‘Mixed’ and ‘Dubious’

Any form of mark in the box near the candidate’s name is accepted. Anything depreciative written near a candidate’s name renders that particular vote as ‘dubious’; anything depreciative written on the paper renders the whole vote ‘dubious’.

We have been asked to leave the Common Room. The candidates have also been asked to leave the room. 

Any member from both teams has the right to object to any vote. 

22.08: Three votes not found (it is possible that the voter walked out with the vote). However, both teams agree that the counting should start. Otherwise, all other votes were accounted for. 

22.10: It seems that votes from UoM-1 were put by mistake in the box UoM-2. (Votes from different boxes have different stamps. That is how the mistake was figured out.)

21.54: UOM-1 votes did not match. Official figure is 651 votes. Re-counting.  

21.51: Checking that all votes are in batches of 50 

21.43: Total votes:

JC-02 – 142/1250 

JC-01 – 340/1300

IHC - 70/1512

Bighi – 3/21

21.36: Third interesting vote of the night – with the words “Komplu ghodd a l***. Dan ghalik Mario Frendo (Sec Gen of SDMJC) a faxxist.”

21.35: Second interesting vote of the night – with the words “KSU tirbhu imma KSJC inz*****” 

21.33: First interesting vote of the night. Description: No vote declared on the official boxes. On the other side of the paper, box drawn and ticked under the word ‘Pulse’ 

There are 8 people counting the votes on 4 different tables. Each table is sorting the votes from a different box. 

21.30: Bighi box sorted. JC-02 box being opened

For those of you not familiar with the voting process, currently boxes being opened are first checked to make sure they are sealed and then opened. Once opened, votes are being separated into batches of 50 votes (face down) by each of the counters.

21.21: Third box – Gozo being opened = Empty. Moving on to Bighi instead. 

21.19: Third box – JC being opened 

21.17: Second box – UOM2 being opened 

21.15: First box of UOM1 being opened.

21.13: SDM & MI candidates and representatives enter – 5 from each team

21.03: Waiting for boxes to be opened. Can you feel the suspense?

20.46: Nothing much going on. Scratch that. Nothing going on right now. For those of you outside refreshing constantly and putting up our hit counter, thank you.

20.36: UOM1 - 651

UOM2 – 635

Total – 1286 

(UOM1 & UOM2 are how the voting booths were divided based on faculty i.e. all students voted in UOM1 or UOM2 depending on which faculty they belonged to.) 

20.25: SDM members are waiting outside in the Quad. There doesn’t seem to be any of the Moviment Indipendenti candidates present.  

20.20: Voting monitors have just exited 

20.08: Gigi the student house cat is on security patrol. Constant vigilance. 

20.01: Here’s what is going to happen:  Voting booths have closed. There will now be the reconciliation of votes (checking how many eligible voters there are,  how many actually voted, checking the signatures of those who voted).

After this the signatures of those who voted are double-checked. Then the room will be prepared for the counting process. Seven members of the electoral commission will be counting, and five counting agents from each team can stay in the room.

The candidate can enter while his votes are being counted.

19.36: Hmmm: Till 14.00, no one from the Gozitan Campus had voted. Aa yes, such a strong interest in the KSU elections 

KSU Elections were held today, with polling booths open from 08.00 till 20.00.

The elections were contested by Carl Grech, Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett from SDM and Andre Vella, Robert Fenech and Mark Camilleri from Moviment Indipendenti. They are contesting for the roles of President, Sec Gen and KPS Social Policy Coordinator respectively.

Voting booths were set up at the University of Malta, Junior College, Institute of Health Care, Bighi and the Gozo Campus.

By 14.00 1296 out of the 12,983 eligible students had voted. This means that a mere 9.98% of eligible students had cast their votes.

23.34: Wrapping up. Results soon. 

23.18: Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett, who were outside, are asked to enter the Common Room. The rest of the candidates are already inside. 

23.13: In the final processes. Soon soon 

22.43: Counting of votes continues 

22.13: Actual counting process about to start. Votes will be divided into ‘SDM’, ‘MI’, ‘Mixed’ and ‘Dubious’

Any form of mark in the box near the candidate’s name is accepted. Anything depreciative written near a candidate’s name renders that particular vote as ‘dubious’; anything depreciative written on the paper renders the whole vote ‘dubious’.

We have been asked to leave the Common Room. The candidates have also been asked to leave the room. 

Any member from both teams has the right to object to any vote. 

22.08: Three votes not found (it is possible that the voter walked out with the vote). However, both teams agree that the counting should start. Otherwise, all other votes were accounted for. 

22.10: It seems that votes from UoM-1 were put by mistake in the box UoM-2. (Votes from different boxes have different stamps. That is how the mistake was figured out.)

21.54: UOM-1 votes did not match. Official figure is 651 votes. Re-counting.  

21.51: Checking that all votes are in batches of 50 

21.43: Total votes:

JC-02 – 142/1250 

JC-01 – 340/1300

IHC - 70/1512

Bighi – 3/21

21.36: Third interesting vote of the night – with the words “Komplu ghodd a l***. Dan ghalik Mario Frendo (Sec Gen of SDMJC) a faxxist.”

21.35: Second interesting vote of the night – with the words “KSU tirbhu imma KSJC inz*****” 

21.33: First interesting vote of the night. Description: No vote declared on the official boxes. On the other side of the paper, box drawn and ticked under the word ‘Pulse’ 

There are 8 people counting the votes on 4 different tables. Each table is sorting the votes from a different box. 

21.30: Bighi box sorted. JC-02 box being opened

For those of you not familiar with the voting process, currently boxes being opened are first checked to make sure they are sealed and then opened. Once opened, votes are being separated into batches of 50 votes (face down) by each of the counters.

21.21: Third box – Gozo being opened = Empty. Moving on to Bighi instead. 

21.19: Third box – JC being opened 

21.17: Second box – UOM2 being opened 

21.15: First box of UOM1 being opened.

21.13: SDM & MI candidates and representatives enter – 5 from each team

21.03: Waiting for boxes to be opened. Can you feel the suspense?

20.46: Nothing much going on. Scratch that. Nothing going on right now. For those of you outside refreshing constantly and putting up our hit counter, thank you.

20.36: UOM1 - 651

UOM2 – 635

Total – 1286 

(UOM1 & UOM2 are how the voting booths were divided based on faculty i.e. all students voted in UOM1 or UOM2 depending on which faculty they belonged to.) 

20.25: SDM members are waiting outside in the Quad. There doesn’t seem to be any of the Moviment Indipendenti candidates present.  

20.20: Voting monitors have just exited 

20.08: Gigi the student house cat is on security patrol. Constant vigilance. 

20.01: Here’s what is going to happen:  Voting booths have closed. There will now be the reconciliation of votes (checking how many eligible voters there are,  how many actually voted, checking the signatures of those who voted).

After this the signatures of those who voted are double-checked. Then the room will be prepared for the counting process. Seven members of the electoral commission will be counting, and five counting agents from each team can stay in the room.

The candidate can enter while his votes are being counted.

19.36: Hmmm: Till 14.00, no one from the Gozitan Campus had voted. Aa yes, such a strong interest in the KSU elections 

KSU Elections were held today, with polling booths open from 08.00 till 20.00.

The elections were contested by Carl Grech, Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett from SDM and Andre Vella, Robert Fenech and Mark Camilleri from Moviment Indipendenti. They are contesting for the roles of President, Sec Gen and KPS Social Policy Coordinator respectively.

Voting booths were set up at the University of Malta, Junior College, Institute of Health Care, Bighi and the Gozo Campus.

By 14.00 1296 out of the 12,983 eligible students had voted. This means that a mere 9.98% of eligible students had cast their votes.

23.34: Wrapping up. Results soon. 

23.18: Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett, who were outside, are asked to enter the Common Room. The rest of the candidates are already inside. 

23.13: In the final processes. Soon soon 

22.43: Counting of votes continues 

22.13: Actual counting process about to start. Votes will be divided into ‘SDM’, ‘MI’, ‘Mixed’ and ‘Dubious’

Any form of mark in the box near the candidate’s name is accepted. Anything depreciative written near a candidate’s name renders that particular vote as ‘dubious’; anything depreciative written on the paper renders the whole vote ‘dubious’.

We have been asked to leave the Common Room. The candidates have also been asked to leave the room. 

Any member from both teams has the right to object to any vote. 

22.08: Three votes not found (it is possible that the voter walked out with the vote). However, both teams agree that the counting should start. Otherwise, all other votes were accounted for. 

22.10: It seems that votes from UoM-1 were put by mistake in the box UoM-2. (Votes from different boxes have different stamps. That is how the mistake was figured out.)

21.54: UOM-1 votes did not match. Official figure is 651 votes. Re-counting.  

21.51: Checking that all votes are in batches of 50 

21.43: Total votes:

JC-02 – 142/1250 

JC-01 – 340/1300

IHC - 70/1512

Bighi – 3/21

21.36: Third interesting vote of the night – with the words “Komplu ghodd a l***. Dan ghalik Mario Frendo (Sec Gen of SDMJC) a faxxist.”

21.35: Second interesting vote of the night – with the words “KSU tirbhu imma KSJC inz*****” 

21.33: First interesting vote of the night. Description: No vote declared on the official boxes. On the other side of the paper, box drawn and ticked under the word ‘Pulse’ 

There are 8 people counting the votes on 4 different tables. Each table is sorting the votes from a different box. 

21.30: Bighi box sorted. JC-02 box being opened

For those of you not familiar with the voting process, currently boxes being opened are first checked to make sure they are sealed and then opened. Once opened, votes are being separated into batches of 50 votes (face down) by each of the counters.

21.21: Third box – Gozo being opened = Empty. Moving on to Bighi instead. 

21.19: Third box – JC being opened 

21.17: Second box – UOM2 being opened 

21.15: First box of UOM1 being opened.

21.13: SDM & MI candidates and representatives enter – 5 from each team

21.03: Waiting for boxes to be opened. Can you feel the suspense?

20.46: Nothing much going on. Scratch that. Nothing going on right now. For those of you outside refreshing constantly and putting up our hit counter, thank you.

20.36: UOM1 - 651

UOM2 – 635

Total – 1286 

(UOM1 & UOM2 are how the voting booths were divided based on faculty i.e. all students voted in UOM1 or UOM2 depending on which faculty they belonged to.) 

20.25: SDM members are waiting outside in the Quad. There doesn’t seem to be any of the Moviment Indipendenti candidates present.  

20.20: Voting monitors have just exited 

20.08: Gigi the student house cat is on security patrol. Constant vigilance. 

20.01: Here’s what is going to happen:  Voting booths have closed. There will now be the reconciliation of votes (checking how many eligible voters there are,  how many actually voted, checking the signatures of those who voted).

After this the signatures of those who voted are double-checked. Then the room will be prepared for the counting process. Seven members of the electoral commission will be counting, and five counting agents from each team can stay in the room.

The candidate can enter while his votes are being counted.

19.36: Hmmm: Till 14.00, no one from the Gozitan Campus had voted. Aa yes, such a strong interest in the KSU elections 

KSU Elections were held today, with polling booths open from 08.00 till 20.00.

The elections were contested by Carl Grech, Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett from SDM and Andre Vella, Robert Fenech and Mark Camilleri from Moviment Indipendenti. They are contesting for the roles of President, Sec Gen and KPS Social Policy Coordinator respectively.

Voting booths were set up at the University of Malta, Junior College, Institute of Health Care, Bighi and the Gozo Campus.

By 14.00 1296 out of the 12,983 eligible students had voted. This means that a mere 9.98% of eligible students had cast their votes.

23.34: Wrapping up. Results soon. 

23.18: Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett, who were outside, are asked to enter the Common Room. The rest of the candidates are already inside. 

23.13: In the final processes. Soon soon 

22.43: Counting of votes continues 

22.13: Actual counting process about to start. Votes will be divided into ‘SDM’, ‘MI’, ‘Mixed’ and ‘Dubious’

Any form of mark in the box near the candidate’s name is accepted. Anything depreciative written near a candidate’s name renders that particular vote as ‘dubious’; anything depreciative written on the paper renders the whole vote ‘dubious’.

We have been asked to leave the Common Room. The candidates have also been asked to leave the room. 

Any member from both teams has the right to object to any vote. 

22.08: Three votes not found (it is possible that the voter walked out with the vote). However, both teams agree that the counting should start. Otherwise, all other votes were accounted for. 

22.10: It seems that votes from UoM-1 were put by mistake in the box UoM-2. (Votes from different boxes have different stamps. That is how the mistake was figured out.)

21.54: UOM-1 votes did not match. Official figure is 651 votes. Re-counting.  

21.51: Checking that all votes are in batches of 50 

21.43: Total votes:

JC-02 – 142/1250 

JC-01 – 340/1300

IHC - 70/1512

Bighi – 3/21

21.36: Third interesting vote of the night – with the words “Komplu ghodd a l***. Dan ghalik Mario Frendo (Sec Gen of SDMJC) a faxxist.”

21.35: Second interesting vote of the night – with the words “KSU tirbhu imma KSJC inz*****” 

21.33: First interesting vote of the night. Description: No vote declared on the official boxes. On the other side of the paper, box drawn and ticked under the word ‘Pulse’ 

There are 8 people counting the votes on 4 different tables. Each table is sorting the votes from a different box. 

21.30: Bighi box sorted. JC-02 box being opened

For those of you not familiar with the voting process, currently boxes being opened are first checked to make sure they are sealed and then opened. Once opened, votes are being separated into batches of 50 votes (face down) by each of the counters.

21.21: Third box – Gozo being opened = Empty. Moving on to Bighi instead. 

21.19: Third box – JC being opened 

21.17: Second box – UOM2 being opened 

21.15: First box of UOM1 being opened.

21.13: SDM & MI candidates and representatives enter – 5 from each team

21.03: Waiting for boxes to be opened. Can you feel the suspense?

20.46: Nothing much going on. Scratch that. Nothing going on right now. For those of you outside refreshing constantly and putting up our hit counter, thank you.

20.36: UOM1 - 651

UOM2 – 635

Total – 1286 

(UOM1 & UOM2 are how the voting booths were divided based on faculty i.e. all students voted in UOM1 or UOM2 depending on which faculty they belonged to.) 

20.25: SDM members are waiting outside in the Quad. There doesn’t seem to be any of the Moviment Indipendenti candidates present.  

20.20: Voting monitors have just exited 

20.08: Gigi the student house cat is on security patrol. Constant vigilance. 

20.01: Here’s what is going to happen:  Voting booths have closed. There will now be the reconciliation of votes (checking how many eligible voters there are,  how many actually voted, checking the signatures of those who voted).

After this the signatures of those who voted are double-checked. Then the room will be prepared for the counting process. Seven members of the electoral commission will be counting, and five counting agents from each team can stay in the room.

The candidate can enter while his votes are being counted.

19.36: Hmmm: Till 14.00, no one from the Gozitan Campus had voted. Aa yes, such a strong interest in the KSU elections 

KSU Elections were held today, with polling booths open from 08.00 till 20.00.

The elections were contested by Carl Grech, Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett from SDM and Andre Vella, Robert Fenech and Mark Camilleri from Moviment Indipendenti. They are contesting for the roles of President, Sec Gen and KPS Social Policy Coordinator respectively.

Voting booths were set up at the University of Malta, Junior College, Institute of Health Care, Bighi and the Gozo Campus.

By 14.00 1296 out of the 12,983 eligible students had voted. This means that a mere 9.98% of eligible students had cast their votes.

23.34: Wrapping up. Results soon. 

23.18: Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett, who were outside, are asked to enter the Common Room. The rest of the candidates are already inside. 

23.13: In the final processes. Soon soon 

22.43: Counting of votes continues 

22.13: Actual counting process about to start. Votes will be divided into ‘SDM’, ‘MI’, ‘Mixed’ and ‘Dubious’

Any form of mark in the box near the candidate’s name is accepted. Anything depreciative written near a candidate’s name renders that particular vote as ‘dubious’; anything depreciative written on the paper renders the whole vote ‘dubious’.

We have been asked to leave the Common Room. The candidates have also been asked to leave the room. 

Any member from both teams has the right to object to any vote. 

22.08: Three votes not found (it is possible that the voter walked out with the vote). However, both teams agree that the counting should start. Otherwise, all other votes were accounted for. 

22.10: It seems that votes from UoM-1 were put by mistake in the box UoM-2. (Votes from different boxes have different stamps. That is how the mistake was figured out.)

21.54: UOM-1 votes did not match. Official figure is 651 votes. Re-counting.  

21.51: Checking that all votes are in batches of 50 

21.43: Total votes:

JC-02 – 142/1250 

JC-01 – 340/1300

IHC - 70/1512

Bighi – 3/21

21.36: Third interesting vote of the night – with the words “Komplu ghodd a l***. Dan ghalik Mario Frendo (Sec Gen of SDMJC) a faxxist.”

21.35: Second interesting vote of the night – with the words “KSU tirbhu imma KSJC inz*****” 

21.33: First interesting vote of the night. Description: No vote declared on the official boxes. On the other side of the paper, box drawn and ticked under the word ‘Pulse’ 

There are 8 people counting the votes on 4 different tables. Each table is sorting the votes from a different box. 

21.30: Bighi box sorted. JC-02 box being opened

For those of you not familiar with the voting process, currently boxes being opened are first checked to make sure they are sealed and then opened. Once opened, votes are being separated into batches of 50 votes (face down) by each of the counters.

21.21: Third box – Gozo being opened = Empty. Moving on to Bighi instead. 

21.19: Third box – JC being opened 

21.17: Second box – UOM2 being opened 

21.15: First box of UOM1 being opened.

21.13: SDM & MI candidates and representatives enter – 5 from each team

21.03: Waiting for boxes to be opened. Can you feel the suspense?

20.46: Nothing much going on. Scratch that. Nothing going on right now. For those of you outside refreshing constantly and putting up our hit counter, thank you.

20.36: UOM1 - 651

UOM2 – 635

Total – 1286 

(UOM1 & UOM2 are how the voting booths were divided based on faculty i.e. all students voted in UOM1 or UOM2 depending on which faculty they belonged to.) 

20.25: SDM members are waiting outside in the Quad. There doesn’t seem to be any of the Moviment Indipendenti candidates present.  

20.20: Voting monitors have just exited 

20.08: Gigi the student house cat is on security patrol. Constant vigilance. 

20.01: Here’s what is going to happen:  Voting booths have closed. There will now be the reconciliation of votes (checking how many eligible voters there are,  how many actually voted, checking the signatures of those who voted).

After this the signatures of those who voted are double-checked. Then the room will be prepared for the counting process. Seven members of the electoral commission will be counting, and five counting agents from each team can stay in the room.

The candidate can enter while his votes are being counted.

19.36: Hmmm: Till 14.00, no one from the Gozitan Campus had voted. Aa yes, such a strong interest in the KSU elections 

KSU Elections were held today, with polling booths open from 08.00 till 20.00.

The elections were contested by Carl Grech, Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett from SDM and Andre Vella, Robert Fenech and Mark Camilleri from Moviment Indipendenti. They are contesting for the roles of President, Sec Gen and KPS Social Policy Coordinator respectively.

Voting booths were set up at the University of Malta, Junior College, Institute of Health Care, Bighi and the Gozo Campus.

By 14.00 1296 out of the 12,983 eligible students had voted. This means that a mere 9.98% of eligible students had cast their votes.

23.34: Wrapping up. Results soon. 

23.18: Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett, who were outside, are asked to enter the Common Room. The rest of the candidates are already inside. 

23.13: In the final processes. Soon soon 

22.43: Counting of votes continues 

22.13: Actual counting process about to start. Votes will be divided into ‘SDM’, ‘MI’, ‘Mixed’ and ‘Dubious’

Any form of mark in the box near the candidate’s name is accepted. Anything depreciative written near a candidate’s name renders that particular vote as ‘dubious’; anything depreciative written on the paper renders the whole vote ‘dubious’.

We have been asked to leave the Common Room. The candidates have also been asked to leave the room. 

Any member from both teams has the right to object to any vote. 

22.08: Three votes not found (it is possible that the voter walked out with the vote). However, both teams agree that the counting should start. Otherwise, all other votes were accounted for. 

22.10: It seems that votes from UoM-1 were put by mistake in the box UoM-2. (Votes from different boxes have different stamps. That is how the mistake was figured out.)

21.54: UOM-1 votes did not match. Official figure is 651 votes. Re-counting.  

21.51: Checking that all votes are in batches of 50 

21.43: Total votes:

JC-02 – 142/1250 

JC-01 – 340/1300

IHC - 70/1512

Bighi – 3/21

21.36: Third interesting vote of the night – with the words “Komplu ghodd a l***. Dan ghalik Mario Frendo (Sec Gen of SDMJC) a faxxist.”

21.35: Second interesting vote of the night – with the words “KSU tirbhu imma KSJC inz*****” 

21.33: First interesting vote of the night. Description: No vote declared on the official boxes. On the other side of the paper, box drawn and ticked under the word ‘Pulse’ 

There are 8 people counting the votes on 4 different tables. Each table is sorting the votes from a different box. 

21.30: Bighi box sorted. JC-02 box being opened

For those of you not familiar with the voting process, currently boxes being opened are first checked to make sure they are sealed and then opened. Once opened, votes are being separated into batches of 50 votes (face down) by each of the counters.

21.21: Third box – Gozo being opened = Empty. Moving on to Bighi instead. 

21.19: Third box – JC being opened 

21.17: Second box – UOM2 being opened 

21.15: First box of UOM1 being opened.

21.13: SDM & MI candidates and representatives enter – 5 from each team

21.03: Waiting for boxes to be opened. Can you feel the suspense?

20.46: Nothing much going on. Scratch that. Nothing going on right now. For those of you outside refreshing constantly and putting up our hit counter, thank you.

20.36: UOM1 - 651

UOM2 – 635

Total – 1286 

(UOM1 & UOM2 are how the voting booths were divided based on faculty i.e. all students voted in UOM1 or UOM2 depending on which faculty they belonged to.) 

20.25: SDM members are waiting outside in the Quad. There doesn’t seem to be any of the Moviment Indipendenti candidates present.  

20.20: Voting monitors have just exited 

20.08: Gigi the student house cat is on security patrol. Constant vigilance. 

20.01: Here’s what is going to happen:  Voting booths have closed. There will now be the reconciliation of votes (checking how many eligible voters there are,  how many actually voted, checking the signatures of those who voted).

After this the signatures of those who voted are double-checked. Then the room will be prepared for the counting process. Seven members of the electoral commission will be counting, and five counting agents from each team can stay in the room.

The candidate can enter while his votes are being counted.

19.36: Hmmm: Till 14.00, no one from the Gozitan Campus had voted. Aa yes, such a strong interest in the KSU elections 

KSU Elections were held today, with polling booths open from 08.00 till 20.00.

The elections were contested by Carl Grech, Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett from SDM and Andre Vella, Robert Fenech and Mark Camilleri from Moviment Indipendenti. They are contesting for the roles of President, Sec Gen and KPS Social Policy Coordinator respectively.

Voting booths were set up at the University of Malta, Junior College, Institute of Health Care, Bighi and the Gozo Campus.

By 14.00 1296 out of the 12,983 eligible students had voted. This means that a mere 9.98% of eligible students had cast their votes.

23.34: Wrapping up. Results soon. 

23.18: Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett, who were outside, are asked to enter the Common Room. The rest of the candidates are already inside. 

23.13: In the final processes. Soon soon 

22.43: Counting of votes continues 

22.13: Actual counting process about to start. Votes will be divided into ‘SDM’, ‘MI’, ‘Mixed’ and ‘Dubious’

Any form of mark in the box near the candidate’s name is accepted. Anything depreciative written near a candidate’s name renders that particular vote as ‘dubious’; anything depreciative written on the paper renders the whole vote ‘dubious’.

We have been asked to leave the Common Room. The candidates have also been asked to leave the room. 

Any member from both teams has the right to object to any vote. 

22.08: Three votes not found (it is possible that the voter walked out with the vote). However, both teams agree that the counting should start. Otherwise, all other votes were accounted for. 

22.10: It seems that votes from UoM-1 were put by mistake in the box UoM-2. (Votes from different boxes have different stamps. That is how the mistake was figured out.)

21.54: UOM-1 votes did not match. Official figure is 651 votes. Re-counting.  

21.51: Checking that all votes are in batches of 50 

21.43: Total votes:

JC-02 – 142/1250 

JC-01 – 340/1300

IHC - 70/1512

Bighi – 3/21

21.36: Third interesting vote of the night – with the words “Komplu ghodd a l***. Dan ghalik Mario Frendo (Sec Gen of SDMJC) a faxxist.”

21.35: Second interesting vote of the night – with the words “KSU tirbhu imma KSJC inz*****” 

21.33: First interesting vote of the night. Description: No vote declared on the official boxes. On the other side of the paper, box drawn and ticked under the word ‘Pulse’ 

There are 8 people counting the votes on 4 different tables. Each table is sorting the votes from a different box. 

21.30: Bighi box sorted. JC-02 box being opened

For those of you not familiar with the voting process, currently boxes being opened are first checked to make sure they are sealed and then opened. Once opened, votes are being separated into batches of 50 votes (face down) by each of the counters.

21.21: Third box – Gozo being opened = Empty. Moving on to Bighi instead. 

21.19: Third box – JC being opened 

21.17: Second box – UOM2 being opened 

21.15: First box of UOM1 being opened.

21.13: SDM & MI candidates and representatives enter – 5 from each team

21.03: Waiting for boxes to be opened. Can you feel the suspense?

20.46: Nothing much going on. Scratch that. Nothing going on right now. For those of you outside refreshing constantly and putting up our hit counter, thank you.

20.36: UOM1 - 651

UOM2 – 635

Total – 1286 

(UOM1 & UOM2 are how the voting booths were divided based on faculty i.e. all students voted in UOM1 or UOM2 depending on which faculty they belonged to.) 

20.25: SDM members are waiting outside in the Quad. There doesn’t seem to be any of the Moviment Indipendenti candidates present.  

20.20: Voting monitors have just exited 

20.08: Gigi the student house cat is on security patrol. Constant vigilance. 

20.01: Here’s what is going to happen:  Voting booths have closed. There will now be the reconciliation of votes (checking how many eligible voters there are,  how many actually voted, checking the signatures of those who voted).

After this the signatures of those who voted are double-checked. Then the room will be prepared for the counting process. Seven members of the electoral commission will be counting, and five counting agents from each team can stay in the room.

The candidate can enter while his votes are being counted.

19.36: Hmmm: Till 14.00, no one from the Gozitan Campus had voted. Aa yes, such a strong interest in the KSU elections 

KSU Elections were held today, with polling booths open from 08.00 till 20.00.

The elections were contested by Carl Grech, Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett from SDM and Andre Vella, Robert Fenech and Mark Camilleri from Moviment Indipendenti. They are contesting for the roles of President, Sec Gen and KPS Social Policy Coordinator respectively.

Voting booths were set up at the University of Malta, Junior College, Institute of Health Care, Bighi and the Gozo Campus.

By 14.00 1296 out of the 12,983 eligible students had voted. This means that a mere 9.98% of eligible students had cast their votes.

23.34: Wrapping up. Results soon. 

23.18: Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett, who were outside, are asked to enter the Common Room. The rest of the candidates are already inside. 

23.13: In the final processes. Soon soon 

22.43: Counting of votes continues 

22.13: Actual counting process about to start. Votes will be divided into ‘SDM’, ‘MI’, ‘Mixed’ and ‘Dubious’

Any form of mark in the box near the candidate’s name is accepted. Anything depreciative written near a candidate’s name renders that particular vote as ‘dubious’; anything depreciative written on the paper renders the whole vote ‘dubious’.

We have been asked to leave the Common Room. The candidates have also been asked to leave the room. 

Any member from both teams has the right to object to any vote. 

22.08: Three votes not found (it is possible that the voter walked out with the vote). However, both teams agree that the counting should start. Otherwise, all other votes were accounted for. 

22.10: It seems that votes from UoM-1 were put by mistake in the box UoM-2. (Votes from different boxes have different stamps. That is how the mistake was figured out.)

21.54: UOM-1 votes did not match. Official figure is 651 votes. Re-counting.  

21.51: Checking that all votes are in batches of 50 

21.43: Total votes:

JC-02 – 142/1250 

JC-01 – 340/1300

IHC - 70/1512

Bighi – 3/21

21.36: Third interesting vote of the night – with the words “Komplu ghodd a l***. Dan ghalik Mario Frendo (Sec Gen of SDMJC) a faxxist.”

21.35: Second interesting vote of the night – with the words “KSU tirbhu imma KSJC inz*****” 

21.33: First interesting vote of the night. Description: No vote declared on the official boxes. On the other side of the paper, box drawn and ticked under the word ‘Pulse’ 

There are 8 people counting the votes on 4 different tables. Each table is sorting the votes from a different box. 

21.30: Bighi box sorted. JC-02 box being opened

For those of you not familiar with the voting process, currently boxes being opened are first checked to make sure they are sealed and then opened. Once opened, votes are being separated into batches of 50 votes (face down) by each of the counters.

21.21: Third box – Gozo being opened = Empty. Moving on to Bighi instead. 

21.19: Third box – JC being opened 

21.17: Second box – UOM2 being opened 

21.15: First box of UOM1 being opened.

21.13: SDM & MI candidates and representatives enter – 5 from each team

21.03: Waiting for boxes to be opened. Can you feel the suspense?

20.46: Nothing much going on. Scratch that. Nothing going on right now. For those of you outside refreshing constantly and putting up our hit counter, thank you.

20.36: UOM1 - 651

UOM2 – 635

Total – 1286 

(UOM1 & UOM2 are how the voting booths were divided based on faculty i.e. all students voted in UOM1 or UOM2 depending on which faculty they belonged to.) 

20.25: SDM members are waiting outside in the Quad. There doesn’t seem to be any of the Moviment Indipendenti candidates present.  

20.20: Voting monitors have just exited 

20.08: Gigi the student house cat is on security patrol. Constant vigilance. 

20.01: Here’s what is going to happen:  Voting booths have closed. There will now be the reconciliation of votes (checking how many eligible voters there are,  how many actually voted, checking the signatures of those who voted).

After this the signatures of those who voted are double-checked. Then the room will be prepared for the counting process. Seven members of the electoral commission will be counting, and five counting agents from each team can stay in the room.

The candidate can enter while his votes are being counted.

19.36: Hmmm: Till 14.00, no one from the Gozitan Campus had voted. Aa yes, such a strong interest in the KSU elections 

KSU Elections were held today, with polling booths open from 08.00 till 20.00.

The elections were contested by Carl Grech, Karl Agius and Matthew Bonett from SDM and Andre Vella, Robert Fenech and Mark Camilleri from Moviment Indipendenti. They are contesting for the roles of President, Sec Gen and KPS Social Policy Coordinator respectively.

Voting booths were set up at the University of Malta, Junior College, Institute of Health Care, Bighi and the Gozo Campus.

By 14.00 1296 out of the 12,983 eligible students had voted. This means that a mere 9.98% of eligible students had cast their votes.
