The student government at UC Davis employs more than 1,000 people, speaks for one of the most important constituencies in Davis, and runs popular local services and events like Unitrans and Picnic Day.
But less than 6 percent of students voted in the Associated Students of UC Davis fall 2022 election, so what are people overlooking?
