The Student Government Association announced the unofficial preliminary results for the 2022 spring election.

The Elections Manual requires that unofficial results be posted by 11:59 p.m. on election day. Three class days after the election, the results will be final if no complaints or appeals are still pending.

The SGA Judicial Board has postponed the confirmation of the presidential election results until after spring break — more than two weeks after the election — because of the ongoing appeal process for a complaint against candidate Madeline Martin.

The injunction on the presidential results was imposed on election day by Matthew Curl, chief justice of the Judicial Board, until the board meets on March 23.

Presidential candidate Sarah Shield’s campaign manager, Garrett Burnett, appealed the Elections Board’s dismissal of a complaint that Martin overspent on her campaign.

The Judicial Board declined to prevent the release of unofficial election results, citing its lack of authority to do so, but did postpone confirmation of the vote until after the original appeal could be resolved.

With a voter turnout of 28.23%, here are the results of the spring 2022 election:
