Voting for the position of ASI president is currently on hold, while the ASI judiciary committee deliberates on the appeal of disqualified presidential candidate Oscar Acevedo.
Acevedo was disqualified after the ASI Board of Election found him guilty of numerous campaign violations. These violations included exchanging gift cards for votes, coercing students into voting for him, and tabling past the allowed time.
Acevedo appealed his disqualification to the ASI judiciary at a meeting Wednesday.
Once the judiciary announces its decision, voting for ASI president will resume.
