Nominations are now open ( here<https://vote.union.ic.ac.uk/login.php> ) and you can enter untilSunday 2 March. Manifestos and photos can be uploaded already. However, campaigning cant start until Monday 3 March. I will organize an AGM that Monday so you can explain why you want to run for a position. and people can ask questions to the candidates. The Big Election Rules are run according to the Union’s Major Election Regulations<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/sites/default/files/Bye-Laws%20Nov%202012.pdf> alongside some additional rules set by the Returning Officer . These differ slightly from the Minor Election Rules<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/sites/default/files/CSPElections%202013%20v1.4_0.pdf> that Club, Society & Project elections usually use and which are outlined in our training materials. One key difference is that no-one from your society will be acting as the returning officer – therefore all questions should be directed to elections@imperial.ac.uk<mailto:elections@imperial.ac.uk>.
