The VP Student Life disqualified following UWSA election committee unanimous decision

The University of Windsor’s Student Alliance’s (UWSA) Election Committee disqualified the Vice President of Student Life, Veronica Beia.  

The committee released a statement to the UWSA’s Instagram on Sunday evening, citing a breach of the election policy. The statement says the decision cannot be appealed.  

794 votes were cast for the position. Beia won with 340 votes. 

The statement mentioned a breach of Section 70: Campaigning Rules. The election committee unanimously voted and overturned the original ruling of CRO and disqualified the candidate. Section 70.01 Campaigning states three points that must be followed: 

1. Pre-campaigning  

1. Responsibility 

1. Rules of Fair Play
