JCR Elections

Dear Downing,

It's that time of year again: election season! Hustings will take place in the JCR at 5pm on the 15th February and voting on the 16th! We'd love as many of you to run to be on the JCR Committee as possible (love a bit of student democracy).

The list of roles you can run for can be found here: https://www.jcr.dow.cam.ac.uk/committee - and they all have a short description of the role entailed as well as copies of the current committees manifests for inspiration. Feel free to message any of the current JCR members and ask them a question about their role!

As most of you will know, several of the roles have had slight changes made to them in the last JCR Open Meeting - mine is the largest affected as the VP will no longer run the room ballot (that's now Accommodation and Services) or Superformals (run by committee formed by the VP). If you want any clarification on the changes (the changes to the constitution are still fiddling their way through the respective staff members so they've not gone up on the website yet), please just get in touch!

If you do want to run for something (and please do!), first round nominations open the 5th February at 9am and close on the 10th February at midnight. Second round nominations then open and close on the 13th at midnight. Please submit an online version of your manifesto to both me and Cam, our Internet Officer, AND a hard copy to my pidge by the deadline! Your nomination must be proposed and seconded by a current student who is NOT a member of the current JCR Committee.

I think that's everything - please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions whatsoever (especially freshers and anyone else who hasn't had experience of a JCR election before!)

Downing love xx

Ali
