After four days of campaigning, voting for the student body treasurer special election will open Monday at 8 a.m. and run for 12 hours. Results of the election will be posted on the Student Government’s Board of Elections special election webpage at 9 p.m. Monday.

Two third-years, Adam Skrzecz, studying political science and history, and Molly Mueller, studying political science and international studies, are vying for the position vacated by former Student Body Treasurer John Taylor Willis on Nov. 1. Willis had been facing impeachment charges at the time of his resignation.

Willis’ impeachment was the first time that the most severe charges were filed against a Student Government official since 2006, and he was the first student body treasurer to resign since Scott Lassiter in February of 2009.

Students can vote online anytime during the 12-hour period at getinvolved.ncsu.edu. Voting will only be done online, which is a change from previous Student Government elections, due to time constraints.

“There will be no physical polling locations,” said Sen. Ryan Dunn, chair of the Senate Government Relations and Oversight Committee. “Typically in spring elections and during fall elections, there’s usually at least one physical polling location in Wolf Plaza or elsewhere where people can go up and vote, but in the essence of time and to save the Board of Elections some extra planning, all of it will be completely digital.”

Another change for the special election is the spending limit for both candidates, which equates to $250. Traditionally, $525 is allowed in the spring elections for treasurer candidates.

Both Mueller and Skrzecz worked closely with Willis in his time at the treasury. Skrzecz served as a treasury assistant to Willis, a position appointed by Willis at the beginning of his tenure.

According to Skrzecz, Willis did not do an adequate job in the role.

“[The treasury] was not nearly as approachable as it should have been,” Skrzecz said in an interview with Technician on Wednesday. “We should be creating an environment where any student feels comfortable to come in and ask a question, that’s not currently what we have. I saw what was happening and what needed to be fixed and I’m ready to get in there and do it.”

Mueller, the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, worked with Willis in the appropriations process during the fall. Mueller was less critical in her opinion of Willis, compared to Skrzecz.

“Each treasurer is different, each treasurer has different goals,” Mueller said. “My focus would be increasing communication, increasing transparency, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that John Taylor did a bad job of that.”
