JEC charges five candidates with violations

The Joint Elections Committee said Tuesday night that Student Association candidates may be facing seven violations.

The alleged violations all involve candidates who did not get approval from the JEC, which oversees the elections, to post campaign materials on Web sites and on thefacebook.com.

Presidential candidate Jon Ostrower faces two counts of preemptive distribution, Joseph Ward III faces two violations and Senate candidates Zeke Williams, Michael Simon and Jeff Goodman each face one violation.

The JEC will hold a meeting Thursday evening to discuss whether the new violations will be upheld.
