   1st – 3rd May

   Voting Period

   Once voting opens, membership can cast their vote for each position. Candidates running for a position may not campaign for votes during the election period. Voting must be done solely on the candidate’s manifesto and hustings speech. This is to ensure everyone has a fair chance when running for a position.
