Respect that other may have a different opinion to yourself. The Union encourages active involvement and creativity inside the electoral process and rules. The Union expects fairness in the election process The election rules set out the ways in which the principles for the election are adhered to, however the list is not exhaustive. As a result the Returning Officer may vary, or further define the rules herein in the form or rulings.
