Vice-President (Activities) by-election will go ahead
Tuesday 10-12-2019 - 18:06
Our by-election for the role of Vice-President (Activities) will go ahead this week after it was discovered that a website bug prevented a candidate from submitting their nomination.
No nominations were received during the nomination period last week, but it has since come to light that one candidate was unable to complete the online process due to a system error.
This issue has now been resolved and a nomination has been accepted for candidate Victoria Hatch.
The position on the union’s Full-Time Officer team, representing societies, sports clubs and volunteers, became vacant following the resignation of Ben Evans earlier in the term.
Vice-President (Union Development) Hannah Prydderch said: “We’re delighted to be able to hold this by-election for the role of Vice-President (Activities). It’s important that our members can have their say on who represents their interests, and we hope to see a strong voter turnout when polls open this week.”
Voting opens at 10am on Wednesday December 11 and closes at 4pm on Friday December 13. All current Lancaster University students are eligible to vote, and will have a choice between candidate Victoria Hatch and ‘reopen nominations’.
