Following three days of e-mail balloting in the off-campus senator election, candidates Tammy Lin and Matthew Smith will be in a runoff election next Monday.

Smith received 47.2 percent of the vote, while Lin received 32 percent, according to John McCarthy, Judicial Counsel vice president in charge of elections. However, Smith could not be declared the winner because a majority of votes is required.

McCarthy added that 72 off-campus students voted in the election, an amount that represented an increase over previous years in off-campus elections. Part of the reason even more students did not vote probably had to do with events in New York City and Washington, D.C. Tuesday, according to McCarthy.

"We had a lot of votes up to that point, but it stopped after that," he said.

Lin explained that she and Smith will have until midnight on Sunday to campaign. McCarthy said he will e-mail off-campus seniors on Monday morning and voting will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on that day only.
