These pages give information on standing for election to exec positions. There is general information following here, and see the child pages for information on specific positions.

Manifestos and Nominations

All these positions require a manifesto. For exec positions, there is no word limit on the manifesto, you must state whether you plan to live in for some or all of your term of office (for some positions this is a requirement), and manifestos must include a photograph. As with any manifesto, you must also include your name, the name of the position you're standing for, the date of the election and the names of your proposer and seconder. The whole point of the manifesto, of course, is to tell the JCR why you would be the best person for the job, so don't forget that bit!

Nominations for the Presidential election run from the 22nd of January until 8pm on the 30th of January.
Nominations for other exec positions run from the 9th of February until 8pm on the 16th of February.
During these times, you must write your manifesto, have it signed by a returning officer, and put it up in the Bailey Room.

Campaigns & Publicity

You are allowed to actively campaign from the open of nominations until the close of voting. There is a limit of £10 expenditure on your campaign, including your manifesto, and you must keep receipts for everything you spend. The following forms of publicity are permitted, when approved by a returning officer:

• Posters;
• Table slips;
• Web pages;

The following are expressly banned in the constitution:

• Electronic information dissemination techniques (including but not limited to bulk e-mail, forum and newsgroup postings) other than those specifically permitted elsewhere in these regulations; (if you make a facebook group, you'll be breaking this rule)
• Telephone or fax based campaigning;
• Door slips;
• Stickers;
• Shouting or artificially magnified voice production;
• Practices deemed by the Returning Officers to invade the privacy or cause undue inconvenience to members of the JJCR

You are also not permitted to pay a third party to assist you in distributing publicity.

If you wish to campaign for RON, you must obtain the permission of the Returning Officer. If you wish to do this, the rules governing this will be made clear to you at the time, or are available in the constitutional documents.

Make sure you read the pages specific to the position you're interested in, since there are a number of rules on eligibility to stand and other things that are specific to individual positions. Most importantly, make sure you talk to the person holding the position at the moment, they'll be able to give you the best information on the job!

Good luck!
