Block or Starr? Voting has begun, here is what you need to know

Voting is underway again to elect Auburn's next Student Government Association President. In a runoff, Patrick Starr, junior in poultry science, and Dane Block, junior in finance, will campaign for votes one last time. 

Voting will close at 7 p.m. tonight and the results will be announced on Cater Lawn at approximately 9 p.m.
