UC Voting Website Links to...Madonna?

UPDATED: Nov. 18, 2013 at 12:24 p.m.

Students eager to cast their vote for the UC presidential elections early Monday morning were not greeted with the names and platforms of the UC candidates or the pro/con statements for the referendum questions. Instead the website notified students that voting would start at 12:01 p.m. on November 18, that the election had not started...and that students should check out the official website for Madonna (this suggestion coming hyperlinked and in lowercase: “(while you wait, try this)”.)

While we at Flyby certainly applaud the UC’s choice in music, we question whether the Council might have better served us as voters by linking to candidate platforms, referenda questions, or heck, even the UC website rather than gratuitous photos of the Queen of Pop.

Now if turnout is low in this week’s election we’ll know who to blame. The Queen of Pop.

(Alternatively: Might this be a harbinger for a Madonna Yardfest appearance?)
