  1. Liverpool Students’ Union Candidate’s Briefing

  2. What we’re going to talk about • the Rules • making complaints • how to vote • breakfast briefings • hustings • raising your profile • declaring the result

  3. the Rules “candidates are expected to conduct themselves in a way which is fair and reasonable and engage in a positive campaigning experience” we view your team as you • you are responsible for their conduct remember that the law is the law • fly-postering, data protection

  4. complaints We hope that these are rare • the point is to get the most votes, not make the most complaints • positive campaigning is more popular with electorates • keep your head in the game

  5. complaints should be submitted as soon as possible in an email to queries@so-elections.com • what is your complaint? • what rule has been broken? • what evidence do you have? • what would you like as an outcome? the Deputy Returning Officer will consider your complaint first and email you a response if you’re unhappy with their decision, you should summarise your appeal in an email to the Returning Officer. The Returning Officer’s decision is final • what are you appealing? • what new evidence do you have? We will accept no complaints about the conduct of the election after the ballot closes; we will not look favourably on ‘saving up’ complaints

  6. how to vote we use the single transferrable vote first candidates to meet quota in the election win, or the highest candidates after all transfers important message to voters is to ranktheir preference; transfers do matter and have elected people at LSU before
