Oliver Cohen has left the building

In his last duty as Chief Electoral Officer, Oliver Cohen presented a brief but poignant report at the Concordia Student Union's Annual General Meeting Monday. After arriving late, Cohen took to the mic and admitted he wasn't "sure exactly what to say". In less than a minute, he argued that the integrity of the election was not maintained and stood by his decision to disqualify both slates.

Clearly still bothered by the Judicial Board's decision to overturn the disqualification of Your Concordia, he then left his notes on the executive's table and walked away. Only after coaxing from CSU President Heather Lucas did he turn around to answer a few questions. He referred any other questions to his email, but couldn't give a specific amount of time for an answer.

Cohen eventually returned to the mic to give his recommendations for the next year. These include extending the campaign period so students can be better informed about referendum questions, have a fixed quantity of posters per candidate, as well as having campaign materials approved beforehand. He also hopes the school will actively explore an online voting system similar to that of other schools. Cohen's full 90-page report will be available on the CSU website soon.
