Exit Polls predict narrow win for Langrish in race for President
Exit polls have predicted a slim 4 point victory for Tom Langrish over presidential rival Tim Ngwena.
After removing votes allocated to Grant Bradley and RON, Langrish is predicted to win by 45% to 41% of the vote.
“We always knew that this was going to be a close race. This shows that it will go down to the wire,” Langrish said.
Rhianna Kinchin was predicted to win a close race over current YUSU Officer Rory Shanks in the race for the Student Activities position.
In the York Sport Presidency race, Emily Scott is predicted to win by 40% over second-placed candidate Michael Sneddon.
Lewis Bretts is expected to win by a 15% margin over David Sharp in the vote for Democracy and Services.
In the Welfare Officer race, Ben Humphrys is predicted to secure a slender victory over Matt Pallas after initially losing on first-preference votes.
Charlie Leyland, as expected, is predicted to win by a landslide over RON.
Election results begin tonight at 21.00 in The Courtyard. You can follow all the action here in text and video.

Just as everyone had been predicting – some extremely close races (aside from York Sport, it appears)!
too right !!
How was this ‘exit poll’ conducted?
Alex,
The exit poll is composed by the Union. They take a random sample of 100 voters, and from that release the results that we have now, taking into account the Single Transferable Vote system that they use.
I hope that makes things clearer.
Neat, thanks
