Summer term- This is the handover window when the old committee hands over to the new committee. The Union will provide resources to support you with this. You will also have a meeting with a member of the communities team during this time.
1st August- Official handover date (all new committee to have completed training)
Elections will be held online via the Students’ Union website. In exceptional circumstances, we may allow internal elections through an Annual General Meeting. There are many requirements for this, so please email sucommunities@city.ac.uk telling us why you want to host your election this way.
All societies will have an election set up for them based on the positions that currently exist. For example, if you currently have a President, Finance Officer and Communications Officer, these are the positions that will be posted on the elections page.
All students, when they log into the SU page, will see an elections widget. This will feature all societies that they are a member of.
Once nominations open, all society members will be able to see a nominations page, where they can put themselves forward for the election. During the voting week, this widget will change, and all members will be able to vote for the candidates that put themselves forward.
You can find a full list of the Society Committee Elections Rules and Regulations here.

As well as the number of skills you will gain from this, you will also have the opportunity to do so much more:

There are several key rules that govern our elections. As all elections must be fair, you cannot coerce other students to vote for you. Examples of this may include:
