On Friday, May 2, 2025, the Associated Students of the University of California, Riverside (ASUCR) announced the results of the 2025-2026 academic year campus elections. Of the 22,205 students attending UCR, 3,911 students turned out to vote in this election, resulting in a 17.6 percent voter turnout.
Since the 20 percent voter turnout minimum was not met during this election, the Associated Student Program Board Referendum, Highlander Abroad Referendum Fee, the Performing Arts Support and Access Fee and R’Garden Food Security and Sustainability Referendum all did not pass.
No students applied to run for International Student Director and Non-Traditional Student Director positions, so special elections will be held in the fall of 2025 to fill the empty Executive Cabinet spots.
When calculating polling percentages, ASUCR abides by Robert’s Rules of Order which dictates that abstentions are not counted in percentage calculations of votes. Only the votes cast, in favor or against, will determine the outcome.
