Dunners

Yay!!! Three votes already, surely that's some sort of record for the DITSU elections! Do I get an office and a big red button???

Baggly

three red buttons, but noone tells you what each one does, and one makes your term successful and helps poor kids, but the other two makes you the new saddam

VOTE FIONA!~!~!~!~!~!

projectmayhem

walked into college today, earphones blasting some rage against the machine, and i'm told by about 100 crappy, cheap looking signs that i'm to vote for fiona.

so here's my pitch: first nominee to guarintee me an alienware laptop gets my vote.

Dunners

the whole apce grabbing poster thing is a load of S***E, all candidates should be guaranteed the same amount of space in the same places then they can put up something decent when they get chance instead of the usual crap VOTE JB or VOTE JIMMY paper rubbish that goes up for about a week before they get their asses into gear. Those signs just make Kevin Street look even more tacky, like some bloody kindergarden rejects art show.

Binomate

I thought the signs were quite amusing tbh. A reflection of college life.

Set up dedicated boards and let candidates use them, ban all posters that are more than 50% white or look like they were drawn in crayola - set up a special commission to judge all relevant posters.

Sorted.

Elections! Brilliant!

Nothin' more fun than a load a' people all runnin' for election...

I think it's great to see people actually making posters again, as opposed to just typing stuff into a PC and ending up with something that just blends into the fifty million computer generated posters plastered all over DIT.

The union needs creativity! A creative campaign is a good sign for the year ahead, but then again, I suppose I'll always be biased in favour of the union.

well, good sir, had you of been in the running, you would not have gotten my vote. good day!

Well one would assume that there is some sort of electoral body who run said elections and count votes and stuff, unless we have the candidates counting their own votes??

Simple situation then, anyone reported for violations and found guilty of such charges is taken off the ballot. Simple really.

Baggly

and yet it hasnt happened in all the years ditsu have been having elections.

funny story, last year i was at a meeting which laid out the rules, and if some unknown party were to start ripping down posters for one candidate, the other candidate (s) would be questioned about it.

Dunners

Sounds like a plan...
