    Are the reults going to be announced straight away or is there a bit of a delay to verify all the information?

    Also running on from spectres earlier post about facebook likes, since this is an online election they may or may not throw up some interesting info.
    The figure in brackets are the increases since Tuesdays post

    Tbh all I think this shows is that the candidates are concentrating more on meeting people and going around campus than trying to get people to go to their page, a bad idea imo as you should always concentrate on the polling stations in elections.

    There seems to be about an hour between the polls closing and the results being announced, so I'd imagine they're using that hour to make sure everything is ship-shape.

    Either that or they have a very slow printer :)

    The voting site isn't working for me, some error screen comes up. I'm in France at the moment so it's the only way I can vote.

    picture.php?albumid=1538&pictureid=9060

    Help?! :(

    Try again, if that doesn't work, send a message to the SU and let them know the site is having difficulties!

    A few people have mentioned that while the site appears to have problems working on Chrome, it works fine for them on Firefox. If they're using Chrome, that might be the solution.

    No we all use IE8 here and I had no problems earlier.

    Gah, that's annoying. All I can offer in the way of suggestion is the same thing we'd suggest if someone had a similar problem on boards.ie and it wasn't a server issue: clear your browser cache and do a hard cache reset of the page by holding down ctrl and hitting F5 (just holding down F5 will probably just refetch it from a cached server on the way, holding down ctrl and F5 will get a fresh copy of the page from the voting page server). Outside of that it's down to Dan's suggestion to email Roisin.

    have already forgotten the names of those I voted for. none of them were memorable, well apart from the fella with the giant horse whose name I forget, remember the horse though.

    was not canvassed by any of them.

    Yes. The reason is historic - when there were only two officers (prior to 1990ish), the officer who wasn't president was obviously deputy president and the second officer happened to be the welfare officer.

    Hard luck to the guys who didn't get in, fairly gutted about Barry and Keith but congrats to the winners :)

    I won't be here so ultimately it doesn't directly affect me but I'm sure next years SU will be a colourful one. Enjoy the celebration/commiserations tonight; judging by the campaigns you well deserve it.

    Hard luck to Enda Gallery. He put in a good campaign and was happy with getting 999 votes. Well done to all those who will be in the student union next year.

    Eamonn, that was probably a typo since when he was writing it I was talking to him,
