The University of Northern Colorado’s tumultuous election for student body president is far from over. Between campaigning offenses, controversial candidates and slow communication from the senate itself, students were left without a clear picture of the election.
Voting ran from April 7 to April 9 on URSA, with students filling out an online questionnaire to choose their preferred candidate for each office. Preliminary results were then announced April 12, showing Enrique Benavidez as next year’s prospective student body president. Since then, the process has diverged from the official process.
The timeline released by the senate promised official results would be released April 16, unless grievances had been filed. However, the senate didn’t announce that grievances were behind the delay until April 22, nearly a week later. There still is no timeline for when results may be finalized.
