Student Association presidential candidate Chris Clark and executive vice presidential candidate Ted Costigan each face enough campaign violations to potentially remove them from the runoff election ballot, a member of the Joint Elections Committee said Friday.

The JEC found probable cause on eight complaints made against Clark and on four against Costigan, in addition to four other complaints the JEC validated against Costigan Wednesday.

JEC Vice Chair Hardy Farrow said Clark’s violations stem from campaign poster infractions and sending unsolicited e-mails. Costigan’s are related to posters, “disrupting University functions and distributing campaign material inside a University building,” Farrow said.

It takes six penalties to be removed from the ballot. Penalties are assessed based on the number of violations a candidate is convicted of.

Both candidates already received violations Tuesday for postering on the walls adjacent to the entrance of Ross Hall.  Clark received two and Costigan received one, based on the number of posters hanging on the building’s walls.

Clark is set to face off against presidential candidate John Richardson in the runoff, and Costigan is pitted against Amanda Galonek after Thursday’s election results. JEC Chair Galen Petruso said the committee has yet to determine what will happen if either candidate is removed from the ballot. He said the runoff would likely be delayed and the next runner-up would be added to the ballot.

Kwasi Agyeman came in third in the presidential race and Samantha Free came in third in the EVP race.

Newly-elected SA School of Business Sen. Nick Koeniger will also be tried for two violations and Elliott School of International Affairs Sen. Elizabeth Kennedy will be tried for one.

The runoff elections are scheduled for March 23 and 24.
