Presidential Election 2011

Rest-of-Committee Elections 2011
Nominations for elections to other JCR committee posts will close at midnight on Sunday of 6th week (13 November 2011). To be successfully nominated, candidates must:
- Speak to the previous holder
- Get permission from their personal tutor
- Put two copies of an A4 manifesto in the Returning Officer's pidge, which must be signed by a proposer and a seconder. The proposer and seconder cannot be running in the elections themselves.
To help speed up the nomination process and ensure candidates do not miss anything out, you are advised to fill in and return the election checklist with your manifesto.
Hustings
Hustings will take place on Wednesday of 5th week and Wednesday of 6th week respectively. Candidates should prepare a 5 minute speech. There will then be an opportunity for questions. Candidates should also prepare a party trick (except for the Presidential hustings in which the current JCR President will be setting a challenge).
All students are advised to consult the code of conduct for hustings. In particular, it must be noted that the Returning Officer will overrule inappropriate questions.
