The ASUO Constitution Court approved the official ASUO elections rules for spring of 2014. The official rules, schedules, disclosures and registration petitions are now available on the ASUO website.

Campaign registration will take place during winter term as well as online campaigning; however, the majority of campaigning will take place spring term.

A mandatory elections meeting will happen on March 10 and all ballot measures must be submitted by March 11. All candidates must be registered by March 14.

Online campaigning starts March 19 while media campaigns do not begin until March 31. According to the ASUO Election Rules, “Online campaigning includes but is not limited to the posting of a campaign website, Facebook page or twitter account.”

Media campaigning also “includes but is not limited to in-person media, such as the posting of campaign materials, advertising, mail and all such public media use by campaigns. Media campaigning may begin at the start of week one during spring term.”

The current ASUO Election Rules do not address campaigns use of laptops to help students vote. MacGregor Ehlen, Elections Board Coordinator, stated to the Emerald that the Elections Board is still working out the details of rule banning the use of campaign laptops helping students with the administration.
