Your manifesto must include the title of the position you are running for and the date of election. Remember to include your name, and the name of your proposer and seconder(s). These people also have to either sign the manifesto, or sign a separate candidate slip, which you can download here. The slip should be posted into the JCR post box by the Bailey Room.

• The word limit for manifestoes is 250 words, except for Executive elections, when there is no word limit. This limit is only on the main body of the manifesto, and doesn't include things like your name.
• Executive elections must have a photograph included, and it is a pretty good idea to include one for all other positions.
• You are not allowed to write anything which refers to another candidate, or anything controversial which could result in legal action against the JJCR.

Manifestoes should be given approval before being put up - this can be done by any member of Chair’s Committee, who are: the JJCR President, JJCR Chair, JJCR Vice-Chair, JJCR Treasurer, and JHJCR Communications Officer. Remember to check when nominations close for the position and get your manifesto done before then!

• Remember that a manifesto is really to convince the JJCR that you are the best person for the job.
• Try to think of questions that you might be asked, and include them in your manifesto.
• Do ask if you are unsure about writing one, they should not be daunting or a hassle! You can talk to the Vice-Chair, Chair or President for help.
• Having a chat with someone who has done the position, or whoever is responsible for the position will help you make sure you want to go for the job, and give you information about it.
