How Do You Run?

Eligibility

Are you a registered student and have you paid the student levy? If you can answer yes (and chances are you can!) then that’s it. You are eligible to seek nomination.

Choosing a Position

The first thing you need to decide is whether you want to run for a full-time or part-time position. A full time position means you’ll have to take a year out from your studies if you are not due to finish this summer. However, part-time positions are flexible and can fit around your studies.

Secondly, take a look at each role and the full job description. All positions offer varied responsibilities and experience. Think about the skills you might have that would make you a good candidate for a position. Talk to the current officers about their experiences in the role and what they have experienced.

Nominating yourself

To nominate yourself you simply log on the SU election platform www. nuigsuelections.com after nominations open and follow the simple steps.

That’s it! You don’t need anybody else. Just make sure you don’t leave it until the last minute. The system is automated and will close at 5:00pm exactly on Wednesday 26th February.

As part of the nomination process, you will be required to submit a picture of yourself for the ballot paper. It’s a good idea to use the same picture that you will use on your promotional material so students recognise you when they are voting. The picture must be of you! Animations, sketches, logos etc will not be accepted.
