Anderson Shumate, a graduate student studying international studies, has declined the position of Chair of the Board of Elections following his appointment by Student Body President Jackie Gonzalez.

Gonzalez, a fourth-year studying political science, has released an executive order overturning her prior order that appointed Shumate as the Board of Elections chair.

The order states that Student Senate President Mitchell Moravec, a fifth-year studying material science and engineering and psychology, will now be in charge of filling the position since the time has passed for the Student Body President to make an appointment, per Student Government statutes.

According to the order, Moravec will be following appropriate statutorial guidelines to appoint a new Board of Elections chair. His appointment will be vetted by the Appointments Committee and must be confirmed by a two-thirds majority vote from the Student Senate.
