The Davis College Green Party achieved success in two related campaigns. Both efforts make the ASUCD government more transparent and accessible.
We also pinpointed some problems of communication and accountability in ASUCD's structure that we hope ASUCD will address.
The ASUCD Elections Committee is now releasing electronic ballot data for ASUCD elections. This (1) lets the public verify the Choice Voting tally, and (2) lets the public better analyze Choice Voting's success in representing voters.
We requested the ballot data for the Fall 2003-2004 Senate, Winter 2003-2004 President, and Winter 2003-2004 Senate elections and put them in this directory for your convenience. You can contact ASUCD Creative Media director Alex Park at appark@ucdavis.edu for assistance in using Choice Plus Pro to count the ballots.
Here is the Aggie coverage on our campaign:
Our efforts got ASUCD to follow its own Constitution and Government Codes. We are tremendously thankful to all the students, student officials, and student organizations that publicly supported our effort and stood up for student rights.

We also thank the ASUCD Elections Committee, the Commitee Chair Mary Ball, and Alex Park for finally releasing the data. We also thank the California Aggie for their supportive editorial at a key point in our campaign.
ASUCD has started posting its government documents online, including documents like the ASUCD Constitution. This makes the documents more accessible and saves hundreds of sheets of paper.
The ASUCD documents are available by clicking here.
In May 2003, the ASUCD Senate passed a bill requiring ASUCD to post its documents online. The Green Party noticed ASUCD was not doing this even after nine months, so Greens filed an ASUCD complaint in March 2004, and now the documents are online.
Here is an Aggie article on the complaint:
The new version of the ASUCD Constitution is still not up, along with the ASUCD Court documents. But we understand that Creative Media will be working on an efficient way for SGAO to upload documents to the web on its own.
We thank ASUCD's Creative Media for its work on this.
