By-election campaign: Delays explained

As I posted earlier, the SFUO Elections website has still not put up the candidates' platforms. At least one candidate was counting on the SFUO website to transmit his platform to students.

According to my sources, "nothing is simple at the SFUO. Everything needs to go through a person at Marketing, and unfortunately, that person is on vacation. So they [elections office] send it to someone at the translation department, who works part-time. He looks at it and sends it to someone else, also part-time, who then finally puts it on the website." According to this source, the process might take a few more days.

There you have it.

I sent an email to all three candidates about 30 minutes ago. I have already received one of the platforms. The moment I receive all three, I will post them here on this website.
