In an effort to increase the transparency of the Election Committee and give electoral candidates a better understanding of how our Constitution is applied, the relevant precedent from some of its decisions is posted here. This precedent is available to the Election Committee as it deliberates in allegation hearings, and it may inform how the Committee interprets provisions of our Constitution in the future. Candidates should be aware that the decision to post or not to post precedent lies within the discretion of the Judicial Council President and Judicial Council Vice-President of Elections. Precedent may not be posted for every allegation, especially those for which publication would damage the confidentiality interests of the parties involved. Furthermore, the Election Committee is not bound to decide any particular case in accord with its precedent.
