Key Election Information for College Staff

The success of our Student Elections is a team effort. We could not run these without the vital support of College staff—from lecturing teams to estates staff—encouraging students to participate.

Staff Overview Recommend a Candidate Contact the Team

To support staff during the election period, we have compiled key information below to ensure the process remains fair, equitable, and widely supported.

Elections Overview

  • Nominations: Open 25th February and close on 11th March 2026.
  • Voting: Polls open on 23rd March and close on 26th March 2026.
  • How to Vote: Students vote online via the CitySA website using CityLife logins. Paper ballots are also available at on-campus polling stations.

How to Support Engagement

  • Encourage Nominations: Signpost students to the candidate information packs and key leadership roles.
  • In-Class Campaigning: Face-to-face campaigning is encouraged. Where possible, please allow candidates a few minutes to speak to your classes.
  • Signpost Voting: Remind students to visit the voting page or attend a polling station during voting week.

Rules to be Aware Of

Maintaining Neutrality: While staff can offer emotional support to candidates, they must not endorse or campaign for any specific individual during the election period (e.g., asking classes to vote for a specific student). Doing so can lead to candidate disqualification. They can, however, recommend a candidate during the nominations period, before the deadline of deadline of 11th March.

Candidates are expected to be familiar with all rules. View all Candidate Resources here.
