Election violation decision postponed until next week


A decision regarding the Student Voice coalition and its recent elections violations is on hold.

A member of the Elections Commission had a family emergency and had to leave during the meeting yesterday.

As a result, the commission will not make a decision until next Monday, said Luke Thompson, chairman of the commission.

Student Voice was charged with two elections violations regarding campaigning outside Budig Hall on April 7.

Jack Connor, the Student Voice member who represented the coalition, said the organization was not soliciting. The group was passing out free pop to students the week before elections.

Student Voice did not register with the University Events Committee, which led Arthur Jones, a member of the KUnited coalition, to file a complaint to the commission.

If the commission finds Student Voice guilty next week, the coalition plans to appeal, said Jack Connor, Overland Park freshman.

“We’ve had good grounds for appeal every other time,” Connor said. “And we have good grounds this time.”

Thompson couldn’t comment on any potential decision the commission may make.
