Most affiliates fill their office-bearer positions through an AGM. The Sports Association (SA) differs is that it holds yearly elections over a three day period, in which voting is open to all students. These elections took place from the 25th to the 27th of May, with results being declared last Friday (the 29th).
2008-09 President Andres Munoz-Lamilla (Athletics) faced a leadership challenge, as University employee Husam Seif (Sailing) was contesting the position. The position of Deputy President was also contested between Husam and Tim Collin (Hockey). In the end, Husam lost out on both positions.
This election sees Andres entering his eighth year of involvement with the SA. Former (acting) AUU President Emilio Roberts was unopposed in his bid for the position of Honorary Treasurer.
Several positions are still unfilled.

Didn't realise all university students could vote, didnt even realise there was an election going on.
I didn't realise they had elections...
see, the problem with letting general students know that an election is going on is that they may decide to vote. and god knows who those pesky little outsiders might vote for
it was advertised through www.theblacks.com.au. i don't know whether an email was also sent out to sports association members (seeing as i'm not a member myself)
