The official student media body of IIT Madras
If you were one of those people who ducked out of sight whenever you saw a campaign team near your hostel, or if you’re balking at the thought of going through all those manifestos, or even if you feel bad about missing all the Soap(box) drama, T5E’s highlights of Insti Soapbox 2015 should help. Know your representatives; be an informed voter.
“T5E strongly urges students to go through candidates’ manifestos and videos, and vote wisely and responsibly. Although the Facebook Elections page was taken down, we now have an internal portal where candidates are allowed to campaign. You can also get an idea of how many of these election-time promises made are actually carried out by looking at our series of Manifesto Reviews of last year’s Secretaries here. “
