The results showed Activate TU defeated Connecting TU by only 56 votes. Connecting TU had a total of 2,218 votes while Activate TU held 2,562. The 5,180 students who cast their votes exceeded last year's participation by more than 1,000. TSG Parliament winners were announced a little less than an hour after Activate TU was announced. https://twitter.com/TempleTSG/status/850391199928266752 The Election Committee [delayed the announcement](https://templeupdate.com/developments-in-tsg-elections-ahead-of-announcement-of-results/) of the TSG executive ticket winners due to an investigation on Activate TU's finances. Activate TU was suspended for an hour from campaigning just before polls closed Wednesday night. In a [statement](https://twitter.com/TempleTSG/status/850141246479839232), Election Committee believed the campaign went over their $1,000 spending budget, but after an investigation, they were found to be within their spending limits. The announcement of the TSG winner was pushed back from Thursday at 9:30 a.m. to Friday at noon.
