The Student Government Election Commission voted unanimously to let election code violators off with a warning Monday night.
The commission considered two election complaints filed during last week’s SG election.
The first complaint accused Student Alliance party spokesman Yevgen Sautin and independent Sen. Neil Gundavda of distributing unregistered and unapproved fliers around campus. The fliers misrepresented the platform of the Unite Party.
Sen. Alan Yanuck, who ran independently this semester and filed the complaint, said the defendants had committed “obvious violations.”
The four-member council gave each of the accused persons a warning, citing a lack of hard evidence for a harsher punishment.
The second complaint was filed because 10 independent candidates turned in their campaign finance reports late or not at all. They also received warnings.
All complaints previously filed by members of the Unite Party were dropped before the meeting.
Before the meeting adjourned, the committee voted to validate the results of the election.
