Henry Scriven-Young, the first candidate to announce his bid for the Student Government Association presidency, did not receive verification from the Joint Elections Committee to appear on the official SGA election ballot, according to the JEC’s verified candidate list.

The JEC did not include Scriven-Young, who announced his candidacy on March 18, on the verified list of presidential candidates, which includes Ethan Lynne, Dan Saleem and Emily-Anne Santiago. Scriven-Young did not return a request for comment on why he did not receive verification to appear on the ballot for the April 10 and 11 election.

Following candidates’ collection of the needed 379 signatures to appear on the ballot, all candidates must submit their petitions to the JEC to confirm their compliance with the JEC rules for valid petitions, which require petitions to be collected in one manner — either virtually or manually — and contain signatures complete with a students’ first and last name, GWID and class year. Michael Ubis, the chair of the JEC, declined to comment on why Scriven-Young did not receive verification and whether or not he is still eligible to run a write-in campaign, a process candidates have taken part in during past elections when they did not register their candidacy during the allotted JEC time period.

“Every individual who submitted a statement of candidacy to the JEC during candidate registration received an email on Friday evening notifying them of the outcome of candidate verification,” Ubis said in a text message. “Those who did not make the ballot received individualized reasoning for their disqualification and information on their eligibility to run as a write-in candidate.”
