The student body election at Washington State University Vancouver was invalidated Tuesday by the Judicial Board of the Associated Students of Washington State University Vancouver.
The ticket of Shavenor Winters for president and Pauline Ramos for vice president won the March 5-7 election with 46 percent of the vote.
Winters and Ramos had received permission from the school’s elections board to set up a table and a computer that could be used for student voting in the school’s free-speech zone.
After the election, another presidential candidate, Michael Gay, filed a complaint stating that Winters and Ramos had broken election rules by placing campaign materials near a polling booth. The judicial board ruled that Winters and Ramos violated ASWSUV bylaws by placing campaign posters on a table where students could vote.
