Amrita Sankar '12 was elected student body vice president with 906 votes, while runner-up Brian Holekamp '12 received 510 votes, according to EPAC.
Hix, who was ineligible to run under EPAC rules due to a previous suspension from the College, received 643 votes as a write-in candidate. Limonthas, who was also a write-in candidate and is currently at home in Texas on an off term, received 427 votes, according to EPAC.
Yoeli said he had a working breakfast with Student Body President Eric Tanner '11 and Sankar the morning after winning the election to discuss their plans for Spring term. He said he will begin his presidency by familiarizing himself with the structure of the Assembly and creating goals for the remaining year.
"I'll spend the next few weeks having preliminary meetings with administrators and making sure the right students are in the right places to move forward on policy work later on," Yoeli said.
Tanner will transfer oversight of the General Assembly to Yoeli at the Assembly meeting on Tuesday. Tanner will remain involved with ongoing Assembly projects to finish the policy pieces he has been working on, according to Yoeli.
Sankar returned home to Ridgefield, Conn., on Sunday to join her family, citing personal reasons. Sankar said she will be travelling to India within the next couple weeks and will not be on campus for the rest of the term.
"I have full confidence that Max will appoint an acting vice president to carry out the duties of vice president and transition power from the current administration to the new one," Sankar said.
Yoeli said that while he does not have a specific timeline in which he will appoint an acting vice president, he will consult with Tanner, Student Body Vice President Brandon Aiono '11 and other members of the Assembly when deciding who will act for Sankar in the interim.
"I have the utmost confidence that Amrita will be able to have an impact from off campus and will remain engaged as we move forward," Yoeli said.
Sankar said she hopes to address student concerns raised in the Assembly, as well as improve diversity initiatives as vice president.
"I look forward to working closely with [Yoeli] to create greater transparency within the administration, to convey student concerns and to provide administrative options for students," Sankar said.
Sankar said she would like to use Spring term to gather information regarding potential policy initiatives, will reflect on her goals during the Summer and will push various policy initiatives in the Fall.
"Max has a number of ideas that he has already thought of and I have some as well," Sankar said. "This term is about talking with communities so that we have a broader base of support and can implement solutions in the fall."
Following the race, Yoeli said he hopes to work with Hix throughout next year.
"[Hix] has contributed an incredible amount to student policy work on campus and I look forward to reaching out to him and partnering with him on future [Assembly] projects," Yoeli said.
Hix was elected to be a 2012 Class Representative with seven votes, but said he is unsure how much time he will devote to the Assembly. He said he is disappointed in the election process, citing EPAC's decision to prohibit previously suspended students from running for president office in this year's election season.
"Sadly, we will never be certain if the student body president was elected by the student will or by the decisions of a few individuals on EPAC," Hix said. "Had I been on the ballot it is possible that the outcome would have been different."
A total of 118 people received votes as write-in candidates for student body president and 77 received write-in nominations for vice president, according to Enten. The website accepted all names listed in the Dartmouth Name Directory, but only names of students were considered valid, Enten said.
EPAC's decision to switch from instant run-off voting to approval voting this year allowed students to vote for an unlimited number of candidates in each race this year. Although only 1,665 ballots were cast in this year's election, the top three candidates received a total of 1,900 votes because of the approval voting system, Enten said. In the 2010, 2009 and 2008 Assembly presidential elections, approximately 2,500, 2,100 and 2,000 ballots were cast, respectively.
Hix reported several glitches in the voting website early Friday morning, according to EPAC. At around 1 a.m., Kathleen Mayer '11 changed her blitz nickname to "Hix," preventing students submitting a vote for Hix by writing only his last name. Hix reported this problem to EPAC and the issue was resolved within five minutes, according to Enten.
Mayer is a member of The Dartmouth Mirror Staff.
At approximately 2:40 a.m. on Friday morning, Hix said in an email to EPAC and obtained by The Dartmouth that he had found a way to vote in 2011, 2013 and 2014 Class Council elections by changing a few numbers in the website's URL. Enten said the web-master fixed the glitch and was able to audit the system once the polls had closed to determine if any votes were cast by ineligible students. Hix was the only voter to find this error, according to Enten.
At around 3 a.m. the same day, Hix discovered that he could enter the same write-in candidate multiple times in the Committee on Standards race. Early Saturday morning, after receiving the election results, Hix notified Enten about the problem.
The web-master is currently performing an audit of the system, according to Enten. He said that if there were any flaws with the website, they would only affect the tallies of the write-in candidates, but not the winners of the major contests.
"Max Yoeli got the most votes," Enten said. "There is no doubt about that. There were no double votes for Max Yoeli. That was impossible."
Limonthas said he congratulated Yoeli on a great race and that he will "help out with the Assembly in any way [he] can."
John Rutan '12 was elected 2012 Class Council president and Briana Perry '12 was elected 2012 Class Council vice president. Georgia Travers '13 and Reilly Bertasi '13 were elected 2013 Class Council president and vice president, respectively. Sebastian DeLuca '14 will serve as 2014 Class Council president and Andrew Longhi '14 as 2014 Class Council vice president.
