Elections Council Chair Order #3 Upholding Legal Online Voting April 18, 2006

1. Whereas: SB30 mandates that the Spring 2006 ASUC Elections will include an expanded online component in addition to the existing on-campus component.

2. Whereas: In addition to the expense of the production of the current voting program, it would cost thousands of dollars to modify that program to uphold the specifications in SB30 clauses 3 and 6 (The Clauses) by implementing a five minute delay between log-in and access to the voting page, and limiting voting to one vote per MAC address.

3. Whereas: It is unlikely that SIS would have been able to write a program with the necessary modifications described above during the time before Elections.

4. Whereas: Other, non-technical methods will be utilized to discourage the fraudulent voting that the Clauses had intended to protect against.

5. Whereas: Temporarily suspending the Clauses from the Bylaws would still allow the Clauses to be implemented in current years,

1. Ordered: Title IV, Article 3, Section 2, Subsection 7, Clause 3 and Title IV, Article 3, Section 2, Subsection 7, Clause 6 of the ASUC Bylaws are suspended for the Spring 2006ASUC Elections.
