* A coterm is a student who is both a currently registered undergraduate student and graduate student. They are eligible to vote on both undergrad and grad issues. The total voter turnout is calculated as follows: Undergrad-only + Grad-only – Coterm. This is to avoid double-counting coterms, who are included in both the undergrad and grad lines.

Note 1: Graduate student vote counts for each district are based on the district in which students chose to vote for their GSC reps. Grad students may belong to multiple districts but may only vote for GSC reps in one district.

Special Fees

Undergraduate-only Special Fees

Undergraduate-only Special Fees need at least 50% approval by voters and at least 15% approval of all students eligible to vote on them. Currently, 6921 students are registered as undergraduates (including coterms). Thus, undergraduate Special Fees require approval by 50% of the students voting on them, as well as 1039 "yes" votes. These conditions are from the ASSU Constitution, Article V, Section 2(E). See our Special Fees page for more general information.

Joint Special Fees

Joint Special Fees need at least 50% approval by grad voters and 50% approval by undergrad voters, considered separately, and at least 15% approval of all Stanford students considered as a whole (not 15% in each population). There are 14948 currently registered Stanford students; thus, each Special Fee requires 50% approval of each student body as well as 2243 "yes" votes. Note: UG and G numbers both include coterms, since a coterm is a member of each population. Coterms are subtracted before calculating the "Approved by voters votes as % of student body" so that they are not double counted.
