Referenda

The following referendum, which was previously announced to appear on the Presidential Election ballot, has been withdrawn by its sponsors:

Shall the TCU recommend to the administration of Tufts University that the university’s marijuana policy be revised, with the intention of aligning university policy with state policy, so that possession or use of less than or equal to one ounce of marijuana is not grounds for disciplinary warning or probation through the Judicial Affairs office?

 

 

Rules regarding referendum elections:

 "The bylaws of the Elections Commission shall contain procedures for the exercise of referenda and other non-candidate votes, including advertising (such as prior notice), polling places and voting procedure. A minimum of 1/6 of the members of the TCU must vote in favor of a referendum for it to be considered valid and binding. A majority vote in favor of the referendum is necessary for it to become effective." (TCU Constitution Article VIII, C 1-2)
