Frequently Asked Questions

How do I vote?

Before carrying on, you may want to check you can participate in this election. Click here for a video guide.


Step 1 - To begin voting, click the Vote Now button above and accept the terms and conditions.


Step 2 - Click the start voting button to begin casting your vote.


Step 3 - Take a moment to read the candidates' manifestos, then rank them in order of preference, first to last. Rank as many candidates as you can: if you only vote for one candidate and they aren't elected, your vote will be wasted.


Step 4 - Once you're happy with your selections, click Cast Vote and then Confirm. You will be unable to change your vote once cast.

What do these different roles involve?

To help you decide whether our leadership roles are for you, we've prepared a range of Role Descriptions. These documents are a snapshot of what these roles might look and feel like everyday but remember, we're a flexible organisation, and you'll likely find that you'll be involved in lots more too!
