Val Torena (Elections Chair) Email: valeriatorena@weber.edu Phone: (801) 499-4757 Office: SU 326 N

Aaron W. Newman (Director, Student Involvement and Leadership) Email: aaronnewman@weber.edu Phone: (801) 626-8912 Office: SU 326 R

Candidacy

1. To declare candidacy you must complete and submit the following items:

• WSUSA Eligibility and Declaration of Candidacy Form • A copy of your platform in writing not to exceed 350 words and a professional

photo of yourself

These items need to be turned into the Department of Student Involvement & Leadership (SU 326) before 10:00AM on March 25, 2015 (the earlier, the better).

2. Any candidate who wishes to completely withdraw their candidacy may do so at any time

prior to the announcement of election results by submitting a written statement to the Elections Committee. After the Elections Committee has received the withdrawal, the candidate cannot be reinstated but may still run as a write-in candidate.

3. Write-in Candidates: a. After the filing deadline has passed, students may still be elected to office as a

write-in candidate. A student may file as an intentional write-in candidate. To do so, a student must complete the process to declare candidacy as stated above. Should a student receive enough votes to win an election as a write-in candidate without intentionally seeking that office, he/she must complete the process to declare candidacy by the end of the following business day after the posting of election results.

 

Spending Limits, Expense Clarification, Coupons, and Fair Market Value

Spending Limits

1. The total amount of money to be spent by any candidate competing for an legislative position is not to exceed that of $250. This is in accordance with SB: 140107-01, passed by the WSUSA Student Senate on February 10, 2014, pertaining to the modifying of the spending cap for the WSUSA Elections.

 2. The strict adherance to SB: 140107-01, is, and should be, of the upmost importance. Those found

exceeding the spending limit, in any amount over the declared $250, shall be disqualified from their respective legislative race. Said candidate(s) shall also be denied the privilege of participating as a write-in candidate in any other legislative position during the 2015-2016 legislative election cycle.

 Receipts  

1. Receipts for any goods or services purchased by a candidate before 7:59AM on March 30, 2015 must be turned in to the Elections Committee by 8:00AM on March 30, 2015. Failure to do so will be seen as an attempt to defraud the election-spending limit and will be subject to sanctions, including, but not limited to, the reduction of overall votes or disqualification.

2. Receipts for items purchased during campaign week must be turned in to the Elections Committee

within 24 hours of purchase. Failure to do so will result in a reduction of 100 votes per delayed receipt. The amount spent on such transactions will be updated to the candidates’ list of purchases, of which the total amount will be deducted from the overall spending cap of said candidate.

Fair Market Value

1. The term, “Fair Market Value” will be used in accordance with the practice of establishing a base price association of common goods. Meaning that, common goods (shirts, chap stick, business cards, pens, pencils, etc.) will have an associated value assigned to them. Candidates who have such items donated to their campaign shall then report the donated items to the Elections Committee, who will assess the value of said donation(s) and deduct it from the respective candidates overall spending limit. Those receiving a donation, product, or service at a discounted price or rate will be required to report this amount to the Elections Committee who will assess the value to be deducted from the candidate’s overall spending limit in the same manner as they would in the case of a donation.

2. Candidates who can show proof of purchase of an item purchased at a price lower than the assigned

Fair Market Value, without having received any personal or privileged discount, will effectively lower the price of said good on the Fair Market Value Assessment List (FMVAL). As stated, the new price will replace the initial assigned value on the FMVAL, but it does not act retroactively in a way that it gives candidates who have spent more on such an item more spending power by freeing up a portion of their budget share. If a candidate has spent more on an item than what is assigned to said item on the FMVAL, that amount will still stand as the amount to be deducted from their overall spending limit.

Coupons and Vouchers

1. Coupons, vouchers, discounts on items and overall purchases, or any other forms of discount or publicity for any entity, company, or group other than the candidate themself as an individual running for an Legislative Position will not be permitted. There will be no exceptions to this rule.

Campaigning   Campaigning shall be defined as any intentional activity, which publicly notifies others of one’s intent to seek election to a position in WSUSA (i.e. distribute campaign materials, put up signs, hold rallies, etc.). Please consult the bylaws for further information. As stated earlier in this packet, it is your job to understand and obey the election rules and ensure that all those assisting you in your campaign understand and comply with the rules as well.

1. You can begin passive campaigning once you’ve turned in your election forms. Passive campaigning means that you can talk to people about why you’re running, but you cannot distribute any campaign materials, put up signs, hold rallies, etc. Active campaigning begins March 30, 2015 at 8:00AM. Active campaigning means that you can posts signs, distribute campaign material, etc.

2. Campaigning shall be limited to the WSU Campuses only. No campaigning is allowed in the

WSUSA Offices (SU 326), inside or within 15 feet of any WSU open or classroom computer labs (purchasing or using ad-space in any WSU computer lab is not permitted), Community Education Center, or the Stewart Library. Campaigning in any way is not permitted at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Institute of Religion or the Newman Catholic Student Center, as these are not part of the WSU Campus.

3. No candidate or supporter of a candidate may provide physical access to the student portal for

voting purposes to students (for example, taking a laptop door-to-door or presenting an internet capable cell phone, tablets, etc. to students on campus to vote). Candidates may provide a written URL (www.weber.edu/vote) or voting instructions.

4. Campaigning in classes will only be permitted with prior approval from instructors and is done

with the instructor’s discretion.

5. All campaign materials must adhere to the current bylaws (http://www.weber.edu/wsusa) and WSU posting policies and procedures (http://www.weber.edu/ppm/Policies/7-10_WrittenMaterials.html ).

6. Candidates must seek preauthorization for any unusual forms of campaigning from the Elections

Committee (i.e. airplanes, hot air balloons, animals, loudspeakers, etc.). Candidates who wish to hold a rally or distribute food must first receive permission from the elections committee. For food purchases, candidates must adhere to the WSU food policy of purchasing $100 or less per day (policy regarding commercially made food located in WSU Policy and Procedures Manual, 5-30a, IIF). The Elections Committee reserves the right to define what is considered unusual.

7. No campaign materials will be allowed within 24 inches of any pavement, concrete or flower bed.

This is due to the fact that piping and electrical equipment is located within 24 inches of any pavement, concrete structure, or flower bed. The cost of repair due to damage done by any candidate to Weber State University infrastructure will be paid for by said candidate. Campaign materials may not obstruct any roadway, walkway, driveway, sidewalk, parking lot, or another candidate’s signs. Candidates that set up their signs first will have priority to line of sight. All disputes will be resolved on a case by case basis by the Elections Committee.

8. Use of paint or chalk on sidewalks, roads, stairs, or any part of university property is not

permitted. No materials may be placed on tables, cars, desks, buildings, etc. No taping campaign materials on any stairs, buildings, windows, etc. Follow all WSU posting guidelines.

9. Any paint that will come off if wet will not be allowed on any outdoor signs. Latex, acrylic, or oil

based paint is recommended.

10. It is the candidate’s responsibility to get written consent and then submit it to the Elections Committee before using any type of copyrighted, trademarked, or other protected material. Use of copyrighted, trademarked, or other protected materials may be used with the owner’s written consent. WSU logos may not be used on campaign material.

 

 

 

Grievances,  Violations,  and  Sanctions  

1. Grievances can be filed by a student of WSU and must be filed using the included grievance form (forms can be found in SU 326). The Elections Chair or any member of the Elections Committee may also file grievances, but these grievances will be forwarded directly to the WSUSA Supreme Court. The grievance form must include the signatures of at least two eyewitnesses and a written description of the incident in question in as much detail as possible. Grievance forms are to be submitted to WSUSA Office SU 326. A grievance must be submitted within 24 hours of the incident but no later than 11:00AM on Friday, April 3, 2015.

2. The Elections Committee will then rule on whether the grievance is legitimate or not. If

a grievance is found to be legitimate, the Elections Committee will then determine appropriate sanctions, if necessary. It is the duty and responsibility of the Elections Committee to ensure that all election rules are upheld in a fair and timely manner.

3. Possible sanctions will include but are not limited to: fines, removal of campaign

material, loss of votes, or disqualification, etc.

4. A listing of election violations will be posted daily at 2 pm on the wall of the WSUSA offices, SU 326. The Elections Committee is responsible to maintain the violation list, but not responsible to personally notify candidates of violations. It is the responsibility of each candidate to consult the violation list daily. The Elections Committee will attempt to send an e-mail to the address provided and contact the candidate via telephone by the number provided by the candidate in the Declaration of Candidacy form in effort to notify the candidate of the grievance and the committee’s decision.

5. A candidate found guilty of a violation has 24 hours to meet the conditions of the

sanction given by the Elections Committee before further sanctions are assessed. If the Elections Committee rules that a simple fix of the problem is sufficient, candidates shall have 24 hours to fix violations before further penalties become binding. If a candidate is fined, that fine shall be paid to the SU info desk and the receipt shall be submitted to the WSUSA offices, SU 326, within 24 hours of the violation posting.

6. Any decision of the Elections Committee may be appealed to the WSUSA Supreme

Court. Appeals must be made no later than 24 hours after the violation is posted. (Appeals may be submitted via e-mail to supremecourt@weber.edu or hand-written and delivered to Shepherd Union room 326.) The Supreme Court shall then rule on the appeal within 24 hours of receiving the appeal and that ruling shall be considered final.

Clean-­‐up  

1. If a candidate’s campaign material has been damaged or has become unsecured the Elections Committee will post that on the violations list and that candidate must repair or removed that material from campus within 24 hours of the violation posting.

2. Campaign materials need to be removed from campus (including Davis Campus) property by April 4, 2015 at 12:00PM.

3. In the event that campaign materials are not removed in the time given, the candidate

will be fined to compensate the WSU grounds crew to provide the clean-up service.

You may include goals, what you like best about WSU, personal info, or anything you want!
