Ohio University’s Student Senate election season slowly launched online as Twitter campaigns began to pop up in the early morning hours Monday.

Three tickets are competing for OU students’ votes: Action, One and Restart.

Restart is the only ticket without current senate members.

Roughly 10 percent of OU’s student voted in last year’s election, with 2,313 votes being cast. The number was an improvement from 2012, when 2,172 votes were cast, but did not come close to the 4,057 that were cast in 2011, according to a previous Post article. Both undergraduate and graduate students will vote in the senate elections on April 17.

The Post sat down with the executive candidates for each ticket and asked for their thoughts on the current senate and how they foresee the organization under their own administrations. Follow the links below to read about each ticket's platform.
