Student government elections came to a close at 7 p.m. Thursday and ASMSU leaders did not have election totals available.
John Sturk, who acts as a liaison for the student government and Academic Computing & Network Services, said proper personnel were not available to release voter turnout information.
Election results are anticipated to be released before the weekend's end.
And although the government is trying to fill empty seats, some candidates might now be disqualified.
Officials said ASMSU's Elections Code "is not in its best form" and Tuesday it caused friction for the second consecutive year.
In March 2003, about 28 undergraduates were disqualified when MSU College Republicans and MSU College Democrats endorsed running candidates on each group's respective listserv.
At that time, ASMSU's Elections Code stated candidates had to get campaign material approved by the government's election board.
Because the endorsements were sent over a listserv and not approved, candidates were disqualified.
After the incident, ASMSU members revised their Elections Code, but the new code has conflicting rules.
One part of the code states candidates are prohibited from using listservs to campaign. Another part of the code states candidates can individually pass campaign material from one student to another.
In this year's election, the endorsement issue resurfaced when the MSU College Democrats and Republicans groups endorsed a combined total of about 35 candidates in the ASMSU election.
ASMSU officials said they were unable to comment on whether this year's candidates would be disqualified.
If another candidate complains about the endorsement, the election commission will further look into the issue, said Paul Harmon, ASMSU Association Director and chairperson of the election committee.
"So far no one has complained," he said. "The Elections Code is a work in progress."
Regardless of the Elections Code, former Student Assembly chairperson, Matt Weingarden, said the endorsements are a problem because they add the presence of partisan politics to the election.
"The Elections Code was setup in such a way that it really didn't want to have partisan tickets," he said.
"Essentially two groups tried to unofficially setup party tickets."
