Panjab University Student Council Elections Set Amid Persistent Campaign Concerns
The Panjab University Campus Students Council elections will be held on August 31, with 16,468 registered voters, including over 9,000 women who form a majority of the electorate. Key departments like UIET, UILS, and the Department of Laws hold significant influence due to their large voter bases. Despite calls for reforms, longstanding issues persist, such as unregulated campaign spending far exceeding official limits and candidates enrolling in courses solely to maintain eligibility. Four male candidates from major student groups are contesting the presidential post.
