In this booklet you’ll find an abridged version of what each candidate hopes to achieve if elected. You can find their full manifestos by visiting www.yusu.org/elections Candidates’ experience, skills and character are also important. You’ll be able to find out more about these by reading each manifesto. But you will learn even more if you see and speak to them around campus, and if you watch their YSTV 60 Second Manifestos, come see them debate at the Debate Night or listen in to URY for their Candidate Interview Night. Knowing the voting system is also important. You can vote for as many candidate as are standing for each position. So, by listing your preferences you can ensure that even if you favourite candidate doesn’t win, your next choice still has a chance at being elected!

How can we justify membership to an organisation that treats elected representatives and students so differently? I #giveabuzz about your representation.
