Voting period extended

Voting in the presidential election and constitutional referendum will be extended until noon today to give students who received error messages yesterday more time to register their votes.

Some students who tried to vote between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. were unable to cast their votes because the University's WebCenter website was experiencing intermittent difficulties.

ELBO chair Abby Lillianfeld found out about the difficulties by 11:30 a.m., and soon afterwards technicians began working on the problem.

By the afternoon, ELBO decided that it would be fair to extend the election. Voting was supposed to end at midnight last night.
