Your vote matters! In recent years, there has been a low turnout for the Board of Overseers elections. The established candidates are chosen by the alumni association and do not necessarily have a large following. The five Overseer candidates who receive the most votes win a seat. Note that you do not need to vote for more than one candidate. With your write-in vote for Harvey, he has a real chance to win and to protect free speech, academic inquiry, and viewpoint diversity at Harvard.
