The ASUO Elections Board ruled on Friday that Juan Rivera, a candidate for Senate Seat 15 for the Ducks Like You slate, is prohibited from campaigning for the next 48 hours following the filing of a grievance by Mighty Oregon campaign manager Andrew Lubash. Ducks Like You is also prohibited from promoting Rivera during that time.

This is just the latest in a series of grievances and appeals filed against ASUO candidates over the first week of the elections cycle.

According to the grievance, Rivera posted a request for signatures on Facebook on March 13 in order to qualify for candidacy, a violation of ASUO Elections Rule 3.4.2.

The 48 hours went into effect at 3 p.m. on Friday. Lubash filed the grievance on Wednesday. In it, he requested Rivera’s removal from the ballot.

Rivera was unable to comment.

According to the Elections Board ruling, “Mr. Rivera has spoken with the Elections Board about the allegations in the grievance and takes full responsibility.”
