    St. Bonaventure University's Jandoli School of Communication students will once again provide live election coverage.

    SBU-TV, TAPinto Greater Olean and the Jandoli School will collaborate on a report that will stream live at 10 p.m. Tuesday on SBU-TV’s Facebook and YouTube pages.

    The show will feature reports on elections in the Greater Olean area, as well as commentary and analysis on the Buffalo mayoral race.

    “As usual, our students and their dedicated faculty mentors will deliver timely updates on local elections that residents cannot get anywhere else,” Jandoli School Dean Aaron Chimbel said. “Journalism is built on public service and this provides another prime example of how our school, students and faculty serve our communities.”

    Since fall 2019, SBU-TV, TAPinto Greater Olean and the Jandoli School have worked together to provide election night reports, debates, candidate interviews and analyses of local, state and national elections.
