Sterley says that blame ought to be spread around equally.
"It's definitely not just one person's fault," she said. "I didn't get the materials I needed in a timely manner."
Sterley and senators both complained that communications between the Senate and herself were inadequate.
Indeed, no one in the Senate seemed to know how to get in touch with her, and no one involved was in possession of a phone list for the Elections Board, including Sterley.
ASUAF President Joe Blanchard, who is running for re-election, said he hoped that the delay would end up benefiting all of the candidates and would make for a better election.
"The people who haven't done so will have time to get all the signatures they need, and we all will have some extra time to work on our campaigns and to get a deeper understanding of the positions that we'll be running on," he said.
Blanchard said that the only drawback he sees is that the elections could be contested.
"We'd have to resolve the issue over finals week, which would be tough," he said. "But I really don't foresee a problem."
Blanchard said he thinks there has been an increased interest in the elections and that he expects a rise in the number of voters.
"I think that people are finally over the WalkerMaitlin disaster," he said, referring to an earlier, bitterly contested race that ended with a late reversal and recourse to technicalities in the rulebook. "Students should feel confident that their votes will count."
