FAQs
HOW DO NOMINATIONS WORK?
To run for any of the positions, you must be nominated for that role at the AGM. We will call for nominations for each position in the order they are listed above. You can ask someone to nominate you or you can nominate yourself.
In order of nominations, you will get a chance to speak to the membership. If you are running for President or Vice President you get 5 minutes. All other positions get 3 minutes to speak. We will then run a question time for each position, instead of each candidate.
WHO VOTES?
You need to be an USU member and a SUDS member (for more than a week beforehand!).
WHY SHOULD YOU COME?
It's important to have your say! If you’re interested in running for a position, you should reach out to the 2020 exec member who currently holds the position you’re interested in.
NOTE: We can't guarantee how long the AGM will go for, but it will be a few hours!
ZOOM ATTENDANCE
A Zoom link will be provided on the Facebook event closer to the actual time. Those wishing to pitch over Zoom must let the returning officer operating the Zoom call know at announcement of opening pitches for the position. Voting will also be conducted and recorded over Zoom.
