Nominate Yourself. 

Once you have decided where your passions lie, you will need to nominate yourself. This must be done online by clicking here by the deadline of midnight on 30th March 2025. 

As part of the nomination process you will need to submit a manifesto, detailing what you stand for and what you hope to achieve in your year in office. Here are a few things to consider when writing your manifesto:

Clear Vision and Goals: Make sure your manifesto clearly outlines what you want to achieve if elected. Focus on specific, actionable goals that resonate with your audience. Be concise but descriptive—students should easily understand what problems you’re addressing and how you plan to solve them. Your vision should inspire confidence and show you’re focused on making a positive impact.

Authenticity and Passion: Authenticity is key! Make your manifestos reflect who you are and why you’re passionate about the role. Students want to elect someone who genuinely cares and is enthusiastic about the issues. Use personal anecdotes or experiences that show your commitment and connect with students on a deeper level. If you’re passionate about a cause, it will shine through in your writing.

Inclusivity and Student-Centered Focus: Your manifesto should be inclusive and focused on the student body. Highlight how your goals will benefit all students, whether through improving welfare, creating a more inclusive environment, or enhancing student life. Make sure to acknowledge diverse student needs and demonstrate your commitment to representing everyone, not just a specific group. Being student-centered will show you’re ready to serve the entire community.

By focusing on a clear, passionate, and inclusive manifesto, students can present themselves as strong, relatable candidates who truly care about the issues that matter to their peers.

Remember, the deadline for your Manifesto to be submitted is Midnight 30th March.
