Timeline

Nomination Period (24th - 28th April)

The nomination period is when candidates can nominate themselves and submit their manifestos. Instructions for how to nominate yourself can be found below. Note that you can apply for ONLY ONE role within the Board of Directors (BoD). Candidates who apply for BoD roles are still encouraged to apply for a general committee role.

Please follow these steps to nominate yourself:

• Get the society membership using this link.
• Once you are a member, nominate yourself for a role at manchesterstudentsunion.com/elections.
• You can leave the photo and manifesto blank and submit your nomination.
• Use this manifesto template and email as a PDF to elections@manchesterisoc.com

Hustings (30th April)

Candidates for all positions must present at the hustings where they'll have the opportunity share some of the highlights of their manifestos. General committee applicants will have 1 minute, BoD candidates will have 2 minutes, and the President candidates will have 3 minutes to present.

You can view all candidate manifestos at uom.isoc.link/manifestos26 or clicking on the folders below.

Voting Period (1st - 3rd May)

Once voting opens, membership can cast their vote for each position. Candidates running for a position may not campaign for votes during the election period. Voting must be done solely on the candidate's manifesto and hustings speech. This is to ensure everyone has a fair chance when running for a position.
