The Commission on Student Elections (COSEL) acknowledges the concerns and discussions surrounding COSEL Resolution No. 014, Series of 2026. As the independent electoral body mandated to administer student elections, COSEL believes it is important to provide the student body with a clear account of the process undertaken, the consultations conducted, and the basis upon which Resolution No. 014 was released.
This statement is issued in the interest of transparency, accountability, and the Commission's continuing commitment to uphold the Constitution and faithfully carry out its mandate. The Commission likewise recognizes the authority of the UMak Student Judicial Council (SJC) on matters of constitutional interpretation and shall await the release of its official written ruling on the matter.
We encourage everyone to read the statement in full.
