Guild General Election 2023

Posted Tuesday, April 4, 2023


Let your voice be heard in The Guild of Students’ General Elections 2023 on Thursday, April 13, from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. 

All students eligible to vote will receive an invitation notification from the virtual election platform ElectionBuddy via their student email. Each student will be assigned a unique access key that can only be used to vote once, as only one ballot will be issued per voter. All votes will be anonymous and confidential.

N.B: If you forward or reply to the notification email to vote, your vote will not be registered.
 
 
Ballots
 
Ballots will be assigned according to Faculty, with your specific student registration status and the respective nominated Faculty representative who you will be able to vote for.

For example, only a part-time and evening student will be allowed to vote for the Part-time and Evening Representative, and only a student belonging to the Faculty of Social Sciences will be allowed to vote for the Faculty of Social Sciences representative.

All other designations, namely President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Committee Chairpersons, will be able to receive votes from all students regardless of Faculty, student status or designation.

 

How to Vote

  • Students are to use their ElectionBuddy Notice to access their assigned ballot using their Access key. This Access key is randomly generated to ensure integrity. See sample (https://secure.electionbuddy.com/1234-ABCD-5678-EFGH)
  • Click the randomly generated access key link, view the ballot, and vote accordingly.
  • Voters reserve the right to vote for one or all eligible positions on the ballot paper.
  • In instances where there is only one candidate for any particular portfolio, voters reserve the right to issue a vote of either “Confidence”, No confidence” or “Abstain”.
  • In instances where there are two candidates for any particular portfolio, voters reserve the right to issue a vote for “Candidate 1”, Candidate 2” or “Abstain”.
  • Voters will then be allowed to review their choices and submit them.
  • Upon successful completion of voting, the student will receive a Confirmation Notice, indicating that the selected choices have been registered, and the student will be provided with a confirmation code. See a sample of the confirmation code here: (1b0ab859def93a3)
