Electoral Commission Decisions

Spring 2025 Sanctions

To Whom It May Concern: 

On April 14, 2025, candidate Landon Self was granted a hearing to determine whether or not certain actions during his campaign constituted a violation of the Electoral Code. Self was found in violation of Section 4.7.1 of the Electoral Code, which states that “Student Body Officers may begin campaigning at 8 am, ten class days prior to the start of their election.” On the same account, Self was found in violation of Section 4.9.1 of the Electoral Code, which states that “[n]o electronic campaigning or materials may be used prior to the start of the full-scale campaigning period.”

This hearing was conducted in the presence of the Electoral Commissioner, the Electoral Marshal, four members of the Electoral Commission, and with the input of the Student Government Staff Advisor. 

The final ruling stands that Landon Self is to seize all campaign activity for a period of 15 hours.
