Stand for Election - Printed Materials (Full-Time Candidates Only)

Each candidate for a Full-Time post is entitled to the same allocation of printed material from the Students’ Union.

This year the Students’ Union will print the following types of materials for candidates:

  • A0 Posters (Colour)
  • A3 Posters (Colour)
  • A5 Flyers (Colour)

A4 Manifestos will be published on the Students' Union website.

We are providing all colour materials to candidates this year.

The specifications for all printed materials, and the methods for submission, are detailed below.

We recommend candidates start with designing the A0 poster and then size down to the other sizes.

The PDF manifesto submitted by a candidate will be placed on the Students’ Union website as their official manifesto, and should they be elected, included online with their Student Officer profile information for their term of office.
