I shall live like a king on recounts and constitutional requirements.

haha no harm in that. sure you've probably another week or so before it kicks in full swing again.

BuroniKiisu

Word of another potential candidate has reached me, so there's eight people at least considering running.

Seren_

*sighs*

So when's this one going to be on? Obviously no concrete date yet I assume, but a rough estimate if possible.

I didn't think I'd need to say this but, as I've been asked on several occasions over the past few days, I'll say it. No, I'm 100% absolutely and categorically not running. There are people infinitely more qualified in the area than me running. I've only been a union member for 6 and a half months and am delighted to have been elected Finance Officer.

Thanks

Ah right, it's a nice wee bit away so.

daffodil14

thats it, its another three and a half weeks.

It gives everyone a break from elections too which is nice because people were pretty sick of it all coming to the end of the last one.

Abdul Abhaile

I know of 9 candidates interested! Contested much?!?

Nision

Could i suggest a new thread?

Might make it easier for non-hacks to stumble across it.
Rather that having to know to go straight to page 31 past the first set of election?

Seren_

Would most people not just click on the last page anyway though? I really think one election thread is enough.

Duddy

VP for Clubs, Socs, & Union Development is a new position that was created when the updated constitution (voted in on the last election day) was passed. So a by-election has to be called to fill it.

Out of curiosity. whats happened to positions that were voted in and then moved around? Do people still have these?

Seren_

I was wondering that too actually... Surely the Finance and Ents positions are a bit redundant now seeing as they're part of the sabbat job descriptions (Finance -> President and Ents -> Comms iirc).

Yea they were the ones I was thinking of but I wasn't sure and didn't want to name any seeing as I'd prob name the wrong ones and look like an idiot!

Finance and Ents will just help out the new vp coms and do whatever they want.

Start thinking along those lines and you'll show up in July to a turd in your office.

Can clubs and societies campaign on behalf of a candidate?

Nope; clubs and societies cannot endorse any particular candidate in a Students' Union election campaign. The members of clubs and societies are of course allowed to campaign on behalf of a candidate, but not in their capacity as a member or even committee member of a club or society.

daffodil14

I suppose I'll start it off so
My name is Lily Mc Garry I'm a third year BMus student and I handed in my nomination form this morning for VP Clubs Societies and Union Development.

What's the difference? C&S can get post in the SU office anyway. I'm sure many of us would prefer if we didn't have to go to the C&S room for them.

There are cubby holes for post in the clubs and socs room.
There may not be one for every club and soc but there is some.

Norrdeth

Wow, like the're not already there...

Do clubs & socs really get that much post anyway? The little we got for Geog Soc last year was random spammish crap.

When's hustings?

It depends on the club or soc really. Some get more than others.

Hustings are on Monday 11th between 12-2pm in the common room.

Ah lovely, the exact hours I have class on Mondays -__-

I'm after remembering that one of those modules is finishing this week, so I'll get to the first hour at least.

Cubby holes are only for socs. Most sports clubs get there post pinned to the notice boards in the sports hall, which leaves it out for everyone to see or take.:)

"If I wouldn't vote for FF why would I vote for you?", that's my favourite quotation of this campaign so far.

Seren_

Looked at Naoise Ó Cearúil's manifesto when I was in Chill earlier; it's not great.

Also, is Aisling Goff and her team the only people canvassing? Seriously, I don't think I've seen anyone else.
