Voting

In order to stand and vote every person will need to hold membership to their club or society, and will also need to be a current student at Aberystwyth University. Deadline to obtain membership: 9am Monday 25th April

 

How standing works:

 

  • Standing will go live on this page from 9am Monday 21st March to 9am Friday1st April
  • The form will ask you for:
    • Your details
    • Which club/society you're standing for
    • The role which you wish to stand for
    • Then some publicity (often called a manifesto) of why individuals should vote for you in that role
  • You are able to stand for as many roles across as many student groups as you wish
    • If you stand for multiple roles in a group we will contact you for your preferred role in case you win multiple roles
    • Please note a single individual is not able to hold multiple core committee roles within a single student group

 

How voting works:

 

  • We will be using a software called MiVoice. This will use the roles available provided by clubs/socs and the details submitted by individuals who are standing [Standing: 9am Monday 21st March to 9am Friday 1st April].
  • On the day voting opens [12pm Monday 9th May] eligible members will be emailed a unique voting link generated by MiVoice; this will allow you to cast your vote for the committee candidates. You will be able to rank the individuals in order of preference as well as RON (Re Open Nominations) [Voting deadline: 12pm Friday 13th May]
  • It is important to obtain membership before standing; otherwise you are not eligible to stand. Likewise, you will also need to obtain membership a week before voting commences, as only members will receive a voting link.
    • Membership deadline: Friday 1st April 9am
