Vote - from tomorrow at 9am.

Hello all,
So the annual hype surrounding elections is about to come to a climax with voting opening tomorrow on the my.bham portal (my.bham.ac.uk) at 9am, and closing at 12pm on Firday. Voting is online, meaning it can be done from any computer anywhere in the world - which makes voting far more accessible for all of our students, not just those on the Edgbaston campus.

The candidates have all been working incredibly hard over the last 10 days, by going out doorknocking, lecture shouting, speaking to students individually and using all sorts of methods to spread their message and get votes.
A full list of candidates, their manifestoes and further information about them can be found here http://www.guildofstudents.com/content/index.php?page=110175

If you want to hear a bit of what the candidates have to say this week, then you cane come to Mermaid Square at 1pm on Tuesday 10th to hear them all speak, and you will also have the opportunity to ask questions to candidates. If you live on the Vale, there will be hustings at 6pm on Wednesday 11th at the back of Shackleton.

There will be a number of ballot stations on campus throughout the week - http://www.guildofstudents.com/content/index.php?page=114055 - but remember, if you can't make it to them, use any computer at any time!

Lastly, I wrote a (not great) post on why to vote - but let me just reiterate - its really important to have a say in these elections, because the more people that vote, the more students are likely to be happy with the Guild because the people who have been voted in are the ones with the most popular policies. Also, as the VPW and NUS say, voting in elections at university is more likely to get you into a good voting habit for the rest of your life....

Right, now you have read this, and providing it is past 9am on Monday 9th...go and VOTE!
