SU Elections – How to Vote Online

I have screenshot the process of taking part in the SU elections so that you can see how it works before you take part and/or make sure you have completed it correctly.

If you have any problems please contact Vicky on vicky.grant@cssd.ac.uk.

Happy Voting!

STEP 1

You will need to find the email you were sent inviting you to take part in the SU elections, read it carefully and then select the link. You can only access the page using this link as it is individual to you!

STEP 2

You will need to choose a password for yourself so that you can log out and then log back in if you are not finished voting.

STEP 3

You can read more about the positions and the candidates before making your decision by clicking on the Post list and Candidate List. Manifestos are also available in paper copies in the atrium or the bar and if you speak to candidates they will be able to give you more information about their campaigns and answer your questions. I have more info in other posts on this blog...

STEP 4

You will see the positions you are eligible to vote for. It is common practice across a lot of union that for Liberation roles (Black and Ethnic Minorities, Dyslexia and Disability, Gender and Sexuality, International and Women’s) only people who identify into those groups can vote in that election. That is not the case here but you don’t have to vote in all of the elections if you don't want to.

When you are ready to start voting, hit the green button and you will get taken to the President Elections page. 

STEP 6

When you are ready, just order the candidates with your preferences, 1 being your first choice.

If you are unhappy with any of the candidates, you can choose to vote to re-open the nominations by putting that as a higher preference than the candidate(s) you are unhappy with.

Once you are happy with your choices click the no further preferences button.

STEP 7

You will be given the chance to review your decision to make sure it is right! If it is all ok you can click Cast Vote. It will automatically take you to the next candidate but you can use a scroll bar at the bottom of the page if you want to select certain elections to vote in.

 If you have made a mistake it will let you know!

Repeat this process until you have voted in all the elections you choose to take part in. If you want to log out and then log back in to continue voting you can.
