Student Officer Elections 2024: Supporting a Candidate

If your club or society has decided to endorse a candidate, here's how you do this:

- You should invite candidates to talk to your members or answer questions from your members

- Your committee should decide who your club or society will endorse in a democratic process

- You must provide evidence that the decision has been made democratically

- Any committee member who is standing for election themselves, should not be part of the decision making process to endorse a candidate

- You can share the answers to your questions you have asked candidates with your members

- You should inform your members who the committee has decided to endorse and why

- You should inform your members that they do not have to vote for the candidate your club or society has chosen to endorse

- You must complete the candidate endorsement form and return to the elections team on s.u.elections@mmu.ac.uk by XX:XX on DATE TBC

- You will need to send proof that a democratic decision was made by your committee when selecting which candidate to endorse, e.g., a set of minutes of the meeting or a screengrab of an online poll

- If, as part of your backing, you decide to send out a message via email or Facebook on behalf of the candidate, then you must include a link to the website www.theunionmmu.org./student-voice/student-officer-elections

- All complaints about this process not being adhered to will be taken very seriously and investigated

This could affect the candidate's position in the election. If you have any questions about the process, or elections in general, please contact s.u.elections@mmu.ac.uk.
