In the interest of transparency and accountability, this year the Election Board will make public every time it finds a candidate has violated Election Rules and issues a sanction in response.

Complaints were reported to the Election Board that Anthony Jankoski played loud music on Academic Row in violation of campus policy on April 16 and attempted to solicit votes with electronic devices on Monday night.

By a vote of 6-0 with 1 member absent, the Election Board decided that Jankoski violated Election Rules #10 and #15, which prohibit candidates from violating campus polices in their campaigning and soliciting votes with electronic devices.

By a vote of 6-0 with 1 member absent, the Election Board determined that the proper sanction for these violations was a total ban of the Jankoski-Amsini campaign from Late Night, effective at 9:30pm until 2:00am on April 22.

Jankoski, Amsini and anyone working for their campaign are forbidden from performing any campaign activity whatsoever, including but not limited to, wearing a campaign t-shirt, passing out campaign literature, promoting their campaign via word of mouth, or soliciting votes, inside True Grits Dining Hall or within 50 feet of the building. Anyone disobeying this order will be told to leave the area immediately.

Additionally, if Jankoski, Amsini, or their campaign affiliates disobey this official Election Board order, the Election Board will take appropriate action.

In accordance with the SGA Constitution, "All decisions of the Elections Board are final and not subject to appeal."

Any student may file a complaint about potential violations of Election Rules by emailing the Election Board Chair, Evan Leiter-Mason, at leiter1@umbc.edu.
