What is an Elections Committee?

The Elections Committee will:   

• help to ensure that all candidates adhere to the rules as set out in the FVSA Constitution and Elections Guidebook. 
• provide recommendations to the Returning Officer in relation to election complaints.
• take action to address, and if required, issue formal warnings for breaches. 

 

Who sits on the Elections Committee?

The committee will consist of: 

• one student volunteer (selected prior to any elections taking place)
• at least one Student Association Staff member (who will act as Chair of the Elections Committee)
• plus the Student Association Co-ordinator to offer support and guidance (please note - this role no longer exists within FVC, therefore another FVC staff role will support the Elections Committee)

All members of the elections committee must remain neutral in all elections.

If any member wishes to run for a position or express any public preference for a candidate or outcome they must immediately resign.  

The Returning Officer or their appointee shall undertake day-to-day work co-ordinating the elections and advising students on any matters.
