Nominations will open at 12:00 on Friday 11th November and will close at 12:00 on Friday 18th November 2011.

If you decide that you would like to run for a position, then you will need to nominate yourself. These are the steps you need to take:

• Make sure you are registered on www.susu.org, as you will need to be logged in before you can nominate yourself.
• Write your manifesto. Manifestos are only used on the www.susu.org elections website, so be creative!
• Create a photograph of yourself as a .jpeg, which must be at least 300x300 pixels in size.
• Ensure that you have 2 students who will support you in your nomination, and ask around to see who wants to be in your campaign team. You will need the names and University of Southampton student ID numbers of your 2 supporters to submit with your nomination form.

• Once you have all of the items you need for the nomination form (as above), you need to visit www.susu.org/elections and complete the online nominations form, where you will be asked to submit everything electronically.
• This must all be done before the deadline which is 12:00 on Friday 18th November 2011. Late nominations may not be accepted.
• After your nomination has been submitted, the next step is to attend the compulsory Candidates Briefing on Friday 18th November 2011 at 13:00. At this briefing the Returning Officer will explain the rules to all candidates and provide a general overview on the spirit of the election.
