There has been some issues about the DPU being or not a valid faction to run on these elections. However, the two DPU candidates registering their willingness to serve did that 12 days after the due date, as per the following requirements (the list of members was also presented out of time as well):
NL 5-18: Faction leaders are required to submit a complete list of faction members to the Chancellor and the Dean of the Scientific Council no later than 3 days before the start of the RA election period.
Article IV, Sec. 2 states, No later than 15 days prior to the opening of the polls, faction members will report to the SC Dean their willingness or unwillingness to serve in the RA.
I do apologise if the requirements seem confusing, but I would like to remember the DPU members and affiliates that Salzie had posted the "Elections 101" out by July 3 to make sure everybody read the relevant details. Note that the "list of members" is actually less important (it was made a law to make sure the groups only list active citizens) than sending in the notice of willingness to serve (a constitutional requirement that specifically states that the SC Dean has to be notified).
However, if any DPU members would like to contest this decision, they're welcome to do so by notifying any SC member, which will (hopefully) meet as quickly as possible to analyse any counterclaim.
