Election Fever: The Predictions

So the polls are closing down, and all the candidates are wondering what to do with the hundreds of leaflets they still have left.

It's looking like turnout will hit maybe 2250 if they're lucky, so plenty of votes were up for grabs today.

AND THE WINNER IS?

President:

It's looking unlikely that Eamonn will secure a second term in the S.U., with Ruán going for an absolute blitz today. Hard to see Eamonn or Mark pulling enough to take this from him.

Ruan: 52%
Eamonn: 33%
Mark: 15%


Education:

This one was fought a lot today, with all four making themselves seen on the ground. For sheer volume of numbers and sway on the ground, it's looking pretty certain that Emma is going to take this one.

Emma: 34%
Aoife: 28%
David: 24%
Huw: 14%

Emma elected on transfers after Huw and David eliminated.


Communications:

This one is the most difficult to call, with Aoife seeming to take an early lead today, especially at the library and the Health Science. David appeared to be pegging her back all day however, and it's clear this is a difficult one to call. It easily could go either way. Sticking my neck out though, I'd go with;

Aoife: 50.5%
David: 49.5%


Campaigns and Services:

Both Darragh and Michelle had reasonably quiet campaigns today, with Michelle heard to admit that she thought it was beyond her. Fergal gave a huge push, and like Ruán, it'd be hard to see this going to anyone else.

Fergal: 49%
Michelle: 32%
Darragh: 19%



Most of these could easily be wrong, but it seems that's how the feeling is on the ground. Full results will be up later.
