The Columbia Elections Commission released the results of the Fall 2025 CCSC and ESC elections this Monday in an email to CC and SEAS students. 

On Monday, October 27, the Columbia Elections Commission (CEC) released the results of the Fall 2025 Columbia College Student Council (CCSC) and the Engineering Student Council (ESC) elections. In addition to the elected positions, Columbia College students voted on a referendum of three questions, none of which passed due to insufficient voter participation.

CCSC Referendum

No referendums were passed due to the CCSC constitution’s requirement that a minimum of 30% of the student body participate in the vote. As a result, the referendum responses function only as a survey. Voters were polled on three questions.  

  • Removing CUID Swipe Requirement at Gates: 66.94% of participants voted yes, 33.06% voted no, and 7.00% abstained.
  • Student Representation on Presidential Search Committee: 84.10% of participants voted yes, 7.31% voted no, and 8.59% abstained.
  • Excused Mental Health Days: 82.31% of participants voted yes, 9.74% voted no, and 7.95% abstained.
