Online glitch affects voting
For about two hours early yesterday around 2 a.m., students were unable to vote in the SGA online elections for executive officers. A computer glitch made the ballot for those races inaccessible.
All students can now vote for the top four positions, Supreme Court officials said yesterday. Students who already voted for Senate candidates can log onto ULINK to cast votes for executive officers if they were unable to do so previously.
A glitch in the voting system also affected the ballot for Business School senators.
Supreme court officials said every “effort is being made to fix the problem,” and a mass e-mail will be sent to notify students of how to proceed.
