EPSC

After the meeting with EPEC, we had some problems concerning the voting. During the established dates for registering the candidates, no one appeared. In that way, EPEC had to extend the dates for the registration and, also, the voting. Otherwise, the students would have had only a representative per class/year. I don't know if the students saw any EPSC publicity. It's odd because EPEC published them all and everywhere in the campus.

It was in that extension week that Patricia presented a list. No one else did. So, we had a plebiscite in which the students had to vote whether they wanted that student center or not.

We needed just a date, votes, a ballot box, and, of course, the students. We had all but the ballot box. EPEC tried to borrow one in the San Fernando City Council. However, I told them that I was going to make one. At the beginning, they didn't believe the fact that I could make one but I did. Ok... it wasn't the best, most perfect ballot box but, at least, we had one. Moreover, it was our own.

Then, we had all. EPEC wanted to stay outside waiting for students to vote, but I thought it was a bad idea. So I asked if they could at least stay in the (mini) lunch room. And, they could.

So, the plebiscite was on June 18th. It started from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm.

CONGRATULATIONS!
