16th April: Campaigning begins

Running for election or want to find out who the candidates are and what they stand for? The Campaign Period is the time for you!

Campaigning Starts from the 16th of April till the 24th of April and is the only period that candidates can campaign and publicise their candidacy.

Campaign Rules

Candidates can only start campaigning after the Election Returning Officer confirms their nomination to the electorate (this is on the first day of the campaign period). Any publicity that appears before the candidate’s nomination has been confirmed to the electorate shall be removed by the SU Administrator.

Candidates must not spend above £50 for their campaign. Candidates must account for all expenses and shall account to the SU Administrator for such expenses. This account shall be available for inspection by any Members on request.

If any Member is able to provide authenticated evidence that the campaign spend limit has been exceeded, the Election Returning Officer shall have the power to disqualify the candidate concerned, providing the evidence has been given within one week of the election being held.
