The Joint Elections Committee announced sophomores Nicole Capp and Brand Kroeger Student Association president and executive vice president Thursday night in the Marvin Center.
Capp beat junior Marc Abanto by 8 percentage points, garnering 1,199 votes - or 54 percent - compared to Abanto's 1,010 votes. Kroeger received 59 percent of the vote with 1,202 votes compared to 841 votes for his opponent junior Nick D'Addario.
Capp will be the first female president in nine years and the youngest president to serve in four years.
"We made history tonight," said Capp, shortly after the JEC announced the results Thursday night. "Never before has a candidate had so many obstacles to overcome."
Capp came in second with 817 votes to Abanto during last week's general election. Juniors David "Tito" Wilkinson, Casey Pond and Michael Ray Huerta came in third, fourth and fifth, respectively, in the general election.
"We were able to win because students realized that there was a time for change," said Capp, who ran as an independent.
Kroeger's defeat over D'Addario makes him the youngest executive vice president in two years.
"It feels absolutely fantastic to have real students voices heard for progress," Kroeger said. "The work starts today."
Kroeger garnered 950 votes in the general election last week, coming in ahead of D'Addario, sophomore Andrew Cooper, junior Chris Rotella and junior Elliot Bell-Krasner.
Abanto and D'Addario left quickly after the JEC announced the results and Student Union campaign manager junior Kenny Gold said neither candidate was available for comment. Gold credited Capp's success in the election to her unique focus.
"I think both (Marc and Nicole) ran unbelievable campaigns," Gold said. "Nicole focused heavily on grads and they voted again."
Capp garnered 369 votes to Abanto's 40 paper ballot votes. The paper ballot is the method used by many graduate students who cast votes in the Law School and Medical School. The Marvin Center and Duquès Hall, voting locations that many undergraduate students use, feature electronic ballots.
