EMILY REID/Arizona Daily Wildcat ASUA presidential candidates Doug Hartz, left, and Aaron Black answer questions from a three-person panel along with UA students on the Mall yesterday. The debate provided the last opportunity for students to get to know both presidential hopefuls before the election, held today and tomorrow.

Twenty-three ASUA candidates will face off in a showdown today and tomorrow in a general election that will fill next year's three executive and 10 senatorial positions.

In last week's primary elections, current Sen. Doug Hartz and his running mate Sen. Jennifer Reece both had commanding leads over their opponents, Aaron Black and Wailele Sallas, respective, in the races for president and executive vice president.

Sen. Jered Mansell led Samantha Zipp in the race for administrative vice president in last week's election, in which barely 3 percent of the student body turned out to vote.

Jennie Corallo, director of marketing for ASUA elections, said students didn't take the time to vote last week because there were not enough candidates in the election for anyone to be eliminated.

"We do expect a higher turnout for the general and hope that students who voted in the primary know that they need to vote again," she said.

Candidate pamphlets, election banners and fliers were dispersed around campus, Corallo said.

A $3 Student Recreation Center referendum will be placed on the online ballot, which is also expected to draw more students to the polls.

Campaigning has increased since the primaries, as some candidates are promoting themselves on the Mall and at club and organization meetings.

Presidential candidate Black said he has decorated his truck and visited a fraternity house to advertise his campaign.

Meanwhile, Hartz and Reece rode around in a four-seat pedal-powered carriage with signs promoting their campaign.

Some candidates have created T-shirts for their supporters to wear around campus as a source of advertisement.

The ASUA elections committee will have an online voting station between the Student Union Memorial Center and the Second Street Garage where students will be able to vote.

The Student Recreation Center will also offer computers to students when they go to work out.

Voting begins at 8 a.m. today and will continue for 36 hours until 8 p.m. tomorrow night.

The winners of the general election will be announced tomorrow at 9 p.m. at Sharky's, 800 E. University Blvd.
