The eight-question referendum included questions about moving towards a "carbon-neutral university" and whether the OUSA should support an alternative to the proposed North Dunedin liquor ban.
Of the students who voted, 79% were in favour of OUSA supporting an alternative to the proposed North Dunedin liquor ban, 89% were in favour of the OUSA "actively supporting ... the transition to a carbon neutral university", 83% voted in favour of supporting universal student membership and calling for the Education (Freedom of Association) Amendment Act 2011 to be repealed and 92% voted for the OUSA to "affirm its status as an independent voice for students from the university".
There was also overwhelming support for the four organisational questions, which included accepting the OUSA's financial statements for 2011 and the 2011 annual report.
OUSA president Logan Edgar praised the high voter turnout - between 1541 and 1590 students voting on each question - and said the results would have an impact on the future direction of the organisation.
