Mapagpalayang Araw, UP Mindanao!
The University of the Philippines Mindanao Student Electoral Board releases the Initial results from Piniliay 2025. The electoral board received 32 candidacies, all under the slate of Alyansa ng mga Aktibong Kabataan ng UP Mindanao (ANAK-UPMin).
The majority threshold (50% +1) applies solely to unopposed candidates. As stipulated in Article IX, Section 3 of the UP Mindanao Student Electoral Code, a University Councilor position is considered opposed if there are more than eight (8) candidates. In such cases, the majority rule no longer applies. Given that there are nine (9) candidates running for University Councilor in this election, the position is considered opposed, and the 50%+1 requirement is rendered inapplicable. Instead, the ranking method will be used to determine the elected university councilors.
With a voter turnout of 72.30%, the following are the initial results for the Piniliay 2025 elections for the UP Mindanao University Student Council (USC).
