      Student

      “As
      I’ve
      said
     
     
      throughout
      the
      campaign,
      my
      first
     
     
      priority
      is
      to
      improve
      communication
     
     
      between
      the
      students
      and
      Student
     
     
      Union,”
      he
      said.
      He
      added
      that
      in
      order
     
     
      to
      increase
      student
      involvement,

      The
      elections
      have
      been
      marred
     
     
      by
      several
      complaints
      by
      students
      and
     
     
      candidates.
      The
      complaints
      range
      from
     
     
      problems
      with
      electronic
      voting
      to
     
     
      complaints
      about
      the
      campaign
      and
      the
     
     
      debate
      held
      in
      the
      Courtyard
      of
      the
      W.A.
     
     
      Murphy
      Student
      Center
      two
      weeks
      ago.
     
     
      Several
      students
      have
      complained
      about
     
    
   
   
    
     
      problems
      with
      the
      electronic
      voting
     
     
      system
      that
      was
      used
      in
      the
      elections.
     
     
      There
      have
      been
      complaints
      that
      some
     
     
      candidates
      did
      not
      appear
      on
      the
      ballot
     
     
      and
      other
      complaints
      that
      some
      students
     
     
      were
      not
      able
      to
      vote
      for
      some
      positions
     
     
      due
      to
      problems
      with
      the
      system.
      These
     
     
      complaints
      raise
      serious
      concerns
      about
     
     
      the
      legitimacy
      of
      the
      elections.
     
    

    
     
      Some
      students
      have
      called
      for
     
     
      are-vote
      of
      the
      elections.
      Particularly
     
     
      concerned
      with
      the
      problems
      are
     
     
      members
      of
      the
      Stars
      Campaign,
      a
     
     
      group
      of
      candidates
      who
      called
      on
     
     
      students
      to
      ‘vote
      out
      closed-door
     
     
      politics’
      during
      the
      election
      campaign.
     
     
      Most
      disgruntled
      candidates
      and
      the
     
     
      CRO
      of
      the
      elections,
      Pat
      Curley,
      were
     
     
      unavailable
      for
      comment
      before
      the
     
     
      deadline.
      Next
      week’s
      Cadre
      will
      carry
     
     
      an
      in-depth
      look
      at
      the
      complaints
     
     
      surrounding
      the
      elections.
