[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/MSU_logo.jpg” caption=”The MSU’s presidential election will be held on Feb. 5 and 6.”]After an intense week-long campaign period, McMaster University undergrads are heading to the polls to elect the 2008-09 McMaster Students Union (MSU) president.

The five candidates participated in the last of three debates on Monday night and are now preparing for two days of voting on Feb. 5 and 6.

“The election of the MSU president shapes the Students Union for the next year,” says Michael Tufts, chief returning officer for the MSU. “Therefore, it's an incredibly important decision. Students should make sure they're informed about the candidates and their platforms and should take this election very seriously.”

Students need their student card to vote.

Polling stations have been set up in the following locations:

BSB lobby

JHE lobby

Commons lobby

David Braley Athletic Centre lobby

Health Sciences Hospital

MDCL

Gilmour Hall (basement across from Titles)

MGD lobby

Mills Memorial Library lobby
