Student Association President Vishal Aswani vetoed a bill Thursday night which would have shortened elections for the SA, Marvin Center Governing Board and Program Board from two days to one.

The SA senate passed the bill on March 24, claiming the new online voting system that has been in place for the past two elections makes a two-day voting period unnecessary.

Aswani said he agreed with making the election into a one-day process, but said “after lengthy deliberation” he decided he could “not justify signing any legislation that has an impact on Marvin Center Governing Board or Program Board elections without support from both bodies.”

This is Aswani’s second veto of his term. The first bill he vetoed was back in February when the SA Senate voted to get rid of signature requirements for positions on SA election ballots.  His first veto was later overridden.
