We, the undersigned students of Florida Atlantic University, demand immediate action to address a serious failure in the recent Student Government election process. Under Student Government Statute 324.200, a re-election must be held in the event of an elections process failure. That threshold has been met — and exceeded.

What Happened:

• The student body overwhelmingly elected Jean and Ellie to be our next Student Body President and Vice President.
• They were disqualified for allegedly violating a campaign rule that was never shared with them by the SG Advisor, the Supervisor of Elections, or any university official.
• Both the SG Advisor and Supervisor of Elections distributed outdated campaign rules, and then used a different, uncommunicated rule to disqualify the winning ticket.
• The Elections Board, which is supposed to oversee all elections and ensure fairness and due process, did not exist. One individual made the disqualification decision alone — a direct violation of the required process.
• Appeals were filed based on the deadline given by the SG Advisor, yet they were thrown out without the candidates ever being heard.

This is not just a procedural error. This is a systemic failure that invalidated student votes and disrespected student voices.

Our Demands:
We call on the following officials to sign a declaration of elections process failure and authorize a re-election under Statute 324.200:

• The SG Advisors
• The Chief Justice
• The Student Body President
• The Supervisor of Elections

FAU students deserve a fair election. We deserve clear rules, impartial enforcement, and accountability. Jean and Ellie are ready to run again and respect the outcome — but not in a rigged or broken system.

We, the students, demand a re-election now.
