Society Elections

You are able to have your say on elections for roles with two or more candidates standing for the positions. Some roles have been successfully filled without needing an election, and we will be in touch with the full results after voting ends. If a role you self-nominated for is no longer showing in the election, don't worry! Only roles with enough candidates have gone through to election and so this role will have been filled uncontested! We'll be in touch with the full results soon.

If you're having issues voting please email saadmin@liverpool.ac.uk and we'll look into this for you! 

Whether you’re standing, an outgoing committee or society member, you can have your say on who leads your society for any contested roles from 2pm Friday 2^nd May – 2pm Friday 9^th May.

Keep an eye on your inbox for all the details on how you can vote.

Society Elections are held online on the Guild website. Nominations are open now until 12pm 22^nd April with Vote week from 2pm Friday 2^nd May –  2pm Friday 9^th May.

The Student Activities team have been busy setting up in the election for your society using the roles you had available during last year’s election, unless you’ve been in touch already to let us know about any changes. You can view the full range of roles here.

During the self-nomination and voting period, you can get involved by promoting the elections and the roles you have available to make sure you are handing over to a full and enthusiastic committee to lead your society for 2025/26.

How you can promote the role:

📱 Social Media: use your society social media to promote the elections and the roles you have available. From a Q&A on the Election to Day in the Life with your society committee, there’s lots of different content ideas to get working on!

📧 Emails: Get in your society’s inbox with details of your roles and the elections so they don’t miss an update. You can find further information about how to do this here. 

💬 Spread the word: Organise an information session, hold an open committee meeting or even give shout outs at your events. Get your society talking about the election and give an opportunity for them to see you in action and find out more about the role.

Top Tips:

⭐Make sure you share the information about the roles and what they entail with your members. You can use the HEAR protocols as a guide.

⭐Skill Skills Skills: highlight the skills you can develop within each role

⭐ Your experience: Who better to learn about the role than someone who has done it? Share the best thing about your role and what you’ve learnt across your time on the committee

After self nominations close, your admin rights and membership will be temporarily suspended until voting closes on Friday 9th May. If, during this time, you require anything to be done to your society page e.g. upload tickets, events, please do email us at saadmin@liverpool.ac.uk and we will be more than happy to do this for you.

If you need to submit a reimbursement request during this time, please either also drop us an email, or submit this next Friday afternoon.
