Autumn, Spring and By Elections for all other officers at the union, open seats on the council and seats on various committees. For these elections nominations are held in the week prior to the election. There is then a meeting for candidates at the end of that week, with the rules laid down. At the start of the next week the campaigning begins with posters being put up around the union. On the thursday the elections are held with results being posted anywhere from the friday to the next week.
Once elected officers have to attend Council meetings every month (ish), and also attend their own committee meetings.
All lots of fun, as you may be able to guess I wwas elected the other week to a position on the Entertainments Advisory Committee.
Have a look at the union website , under the Your Union header for more details. Chances are there will be something similar at your uni's site.
yes and I got 7 votes out of 85
I was elected as female co-president of the LGB by proxy because my friend got me drunk and persuaded me to stand, and no one else did!
Unfortunately I have no idea what exactly my role entails. More worryingly I know nothing about the London Scene so I'll be sod all use for a while... oh well...
