With the official start of the campaign season just a week away, Executive Vice President Jason Lifton has launched a Facebook group declaring his candidacy for Student Association President.
Visitors must currently request to join the Facebook group. A note on the main page says that according to the election rules, the group must be a closed group. Lifton told The Hatchet that he could not yet make a public statement due to Joint Elections Committee rules, which prohibit campaigning until the registration period begins.
The JEC originally scheduled election registration for Monday, Feb. 8 and Tuesday, Feb. 9 but updated their Web site on Monday to announce that registration dates have been postponed a day and will take place Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 10.
Sen. Logan Dobson, CCAS-U, posted a copy of a completed candidate registration form on his Web site seeking the Executive Vice Presidency. Dobson did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
