Coterm**n/an/a121n/a

* The 2010 percentage increase over 2009 is +15.1%, but the 2009 number does not include coterms. (In 2009, coterms chose to vote either as a grad or undergrad, even if they were eligible to vote for issues pertaining to both.) The same caveat applies for individual school increase percentages; they do represent the increase in the total number of people voting in that district, but they should not be solely relied upon for turnout comparisons to 2009 because they include coterms in each district.

** 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.

Note 2: On 4/10/2009, the total graduate voter count was posted as 2,076. The correct, final figure is 2,053. The initial figure included a small number of grad students (23) who submitted online ballot forms with no selections. Since no fields on the ballot are required, such a submission is accepted; however, to remain consistent with previous years' turnout numbers, these submissions are not included in the final figure.

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. There are currently 6857 students with current undergrad registrations (including coterms) as of April 5, 2010, so 15% of 6857 = 1028. These conditions are from the ASSU Constitution, Article V, Section 2(E): "A Special Fee shall be deemed to have passed if a majority of those voting on it from each of the relevant populations were in favor and if those in favor constituted at least 15 per cent of those members of the Association eligible to vote on that Special Fee." 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 13981 currently registered Stanford students as of April 5, 2010, so 15% of 13981 = 2097. Note: UG and G numbers both include coterms, since a coterm is a member of each population. Coterms are subtracted before calculating the "Yes votes as % of student body" so that they are not double counted.
