Applying as a Group of Candidates (Slates)
Collective campaigning, otherwise known as running on a slate is allowed but regulated to ensure the slate does not have an unfair advantage over others. The names of all students wishing to form a slate must be provided on your Nomination Form.
We’ll be running candidate networking events to allow you to find people to run with, should you want to run with others: Candidate Networking, 21 February 2024, 10am-12pm, AG07b, College Building. The rules to consider when applying with others are: All slates must be confirmed by the close of nominations, 15 February 2024, 11:59pm. All candidates on a slate must share:- A combined budget.- A group name.- At least one shared priority.- A shared slate slogan.- Publicity and branding. The slate group name will appear next to each candidate on the ballot.
All members of a slate are responsible for the actions of the students in their group. All candidates in the election, regardless of whether they are on a slate or not can recommend other candidates to voters, however any candidate that is not part of a slate must not share publicity materials of any kind.
