We managed to build colegiodemocrati.co and get more than 3000 people to register for voting in our elections. The elections are already over but Selectricity is giving us an error when we try to see the results. This Thursday the committee that will recommend a candidate to the board of trustees will make their final report. If we don't get the results of the election tomorrow all of our effort will have been mostly in vain. Also tons of people are expecting the results. We've been trying to reach people from Selectricity and Mako since Monday but we haven't received any responses. Can anybody try to reach him for us?
