Update 03/2/2016: This article has been updated to reflect an additional interview with CalSERVE co-chair Ismael Contreras.

ASUC Elections Prosecutor Jen Shi charged CalSERVE in the Judicial Council for allegedly violating two elections bylaws.

Shi charged CalSERVE with allegedly violating an election bylaw prohibiting the sending of misleading information or evidence.

In a statement released Tuesday, Shi noted “reasonable suspicion” that a CalSERVE official had sent an email to the Judicial Council that allegedly contained false and misleading information. If these allegations are found to be true, the party will have committed a Class B violation that could result in up to three censures.

On Feb. 19, Shi also charged CalSERVE, the RAZA Caucus and ASUC Senator Boomer Vicente for allegedly violating an election bylaw prohibiting campaigning in university-operated residential housing.

The Elections Council received complaints that Vicente, in tandem with the RAZA Caucus and CalSERVE, held a candidate-slating town hall in the Unit 3 residence hall Dec. 5, 2015.

But Ismael Contreras, CalSERVE co-chair, said he was “perplexed” as to what the alleged event was, as the party did not officially hold a candidate slating event on that day. He also said that the notification came “at a strange time” and that all party slating events had been held on campus in January.

If found guilty of the charge, Vicente, who is running for external affairs vice president under the CalSERVE executive slate, could receive up to three censures, along with the RAZA Caucus and CalSERVE.

After submitting a denial of agency — a formal negation of the elections prosecutor’s charges — on Monday, the party was notified of an alleged contradiction between its petition and the allegations against Vicente, according to Contreras.

The party is still awaiting a hearing date for its most recent charge. A candidate or party is disqualified from the ASUC elections upon receiving five censures.

A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Boomer Vicente ran to be the 2016-17 ASUC executive affairs vice president. In fact, he ran to be the 2016-17 ASUC external affairs vice president.
