The Ubyssey has compiled a list of endorsements candidates have received. The list is limited to public endorsements from clubs, constituencies and figures who have a significant social media following or currently hold a position within the AMS or a constituency. Candidates who currently have no public endorsements have note been included in this article.
Voting closes on March 14 at 8 p.m., and this article will continue to be updated as more endorsements become public.
Notably, the UBC Social Justice Centre, which usually endorses candidates, decided not to endorse any candidates this year, instead posting an Instagram statement urging students to do their own research into each candidate to make an informed vote and to "be wary of who has already been an AMS Executive/Council Member, who they are endorsing and what happened during their terms."
