Candidate Handbook and Additional Rulings

 

We've put together a Candidate Handbook that has all the key info you need to be a candidate in the elections - make sure to download this below and read it thoroughly if you intend to run as a candidate in these elections.

The handbook contains info on the rules and regs of the elections that you will need to be aware of and follow as a candidate. In addition, there will be 'rulings' that the Deputy Returning Officer needs to make when asked questions or something unexpected comes up during the elections. You can find our info on these additional rulings on our Additional Rulings page, linked to below - make sure to keep checking this page regularly (any new rulings will also be emailed to candidates).

If you're not sure about whether something is within the rules or not, or need something further clarified, please email su.democracy@uos.ac.uk.
