Campaigns officer proves most popular as candidates announced

The candidates for the 2008 UCLan Students’ Union elections have been announced and already it’s shaping up to be a hard fought contest. The most popular position is the newly created campaigns officer with five candidates putting themselves forward. Four candidates are down to stand for media officer and president. Activities and participation did have four but one candidate has already deemed to withdraw after failing to hand in a manifesto to meet the deadline set by the returning officer. Only one candidate put themselves forward for education officer.

Our candidates section has the list of those running, with a separate page for each candidate. Information about each candidate will appear soon.

Most candidates turned up to the candidate briefing where a lot of questions were asked, with plenty about the new e-voting system and how it will work. The battle has already commenced on facebook with campaign groups popping up left, right and centre - let’s just hope that people don’t burnout before they’ve even begun.
