In December’s presidential election, students will be allowed to campaign during the petition period, when they must collect 100 student signatures in order to have their names put on the ballot.
This is a change from previous years, when potential candidates were not allowed to start officially campaigning until after they turned in their signatures.
“We may restrict the type of campaigning,” said Election Commission Chair David I. Monteiro ’04.
But prospective candidates will likely be able to talk to The Crimson during the restricted campaign period, according to Monteiro.
