HOW TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT ABOUT A CANDIDATE OR THE ELECTIONS
In the first instance all complaints must be sent to the General Manager as Deputy Returning Officer (DRO) on r.beasley@newman.ac.uk.
The DRO will then assess the situation, ask any relevant questions to the people involved and make a formal decision.
The Students' Union will not accept any complaints once the voting has closed.
If you are unhappy with this decision, you can make an appeal to the Returning Officer (External).
The Returning Officer is completely external to Newman Students' Union with no affiliation to any candidate or member of staff.
Any appeal should still be sent to the DRO, again on r.beasley@newman.ac.uk. The Returning Officer will collect any further information required and make a decision. The Returning Officer’s decision shall be final.
