We have also attached a description of roles and responsbilities for each
position, so if you are unsure about the duties of certain positions, have
a
look at the attachement.
Please note: If there is a position that is not being contested,
the candidate
is automatically “acclaimed”, and hence is granted that position. For
example,
if you are the only candidate interested in the Vice-President position,
and the
deadline to hand in your nomination has passed and no other candidates
have
shown interest, you will be “acclaimed” for that position. This
is a general
elections rule to ensure a democratic process is achieved.
