Election Process for Student Association Senior Officers
The Student Association Executive Committee comprises of President/Vice-President, Senior Functional Officers, Programme Representatives and Junior Officers. The below process is applicable for President/Vice-President and Senior Functional Officers only (to be elected by current students in Feb-June each year). Programme Representatives and Junior Officers will be selected by Programme Office and SA Senior Functional Officers respectively in September.
1. Nomination
The Oversight & Returning Officer will notify the entire student community of the roles to be elected as well as eligibility. Instruction on how and what to submit will also be announced. Typically, the window for the SA to receive nominations will be up to one week. Applications generally consist of a one page manifesto, details of which will be in the email notification. No early nominations or late nominations will be accepted.
2. Campaigning
Once nominations have closed, the Oversight & Returning Officer will announce candidates (with their manifestos) and thus open the campaigning phase. There are strict campaigning rules (see below) in place both to ensure equity for all candidates and to minimise disruption to the School community.
3. Voting
Voting will follow immediately with a window of a few days, before results are announced. Details of the timeline will be provided in the email notification.
