Points to Note When Completing the Form 1. The candidate’s name as to appear on the ballot and in the official Election Guide must, in accordance with rules 7 and 8 of the 2nd Schedule of the Representation of the People Act, include the candidate’s surname followed by other names and/or initials, and be sufficient to identify the candidate clearly to the satisfaction of the Returning Officer; and it must not refer to the candidate’s political activities. 2. No Student Member or Life/Associate Member may nominate more than one candidate for any one seat. Candidates are advised to check with proposers that they have not signed another candidate’s nomination form for the same position. In the event of someone nominating more candidates than there are seats available for a position, the additional nominations will not be accepted.
3. Nominations must be from the correct constituency. Where Student Council positions are for a particular constituency, eg for a School, or postgraduates, all members nominating the candidate must be in the same constituency. Someone in the School of Law cannot nominate someone standing as a Medical Rep for example. 4. Because some nominations may be declared invalid for the reasons given above, or to allow for illegible/mistaken matriculation numbers, Candidates are advised to obtain more signatures than required. 5. Candidates should submit their election statement and photograph on line at www.elections.eusa.ed.ac.uk. Further information is contained in the full “Regulations for Candidates” which is also available on line.
Nomination forms must be delivered in person to the EUSA office, Potterrow, or KB House Reception before 12 noon on Thursday 17 February 2011
