The Undergraduate Senate unanimously voted to amend to the Student Government election regulations Sunday.
Emily Ann Kokol, acting chair of the Board of Elections, submitted adjustments. Senators Andy MacCracken and Jason Cunningham submitted amendments.
Under the revised regulations, candidates will be able to create Facebook groups prior to the nominating convention, but the groups must remain under the "secret" setting. Candidates will also be able to incorporate new staff members into their campaign at any time during the election, but the staff members must be added to the Board of Elections list before they do any campaigning.
Another amendment clarifies that candidates can use papers of varying colors in their campaign advertisements.
Kokol said the changes addressed issues that had arisen during previous elections by filling in loopholes and creating consistency for the candidates.
