    It's that time of the year again, nomination close on friday (let's hope everyone gets their forms in on time this year), elections are on from 29th Feb to 1st Mar.

    Karl Gill(2nd Social Science) officially launched his campaign for C&C today.

    There's a few more unofficial announcements and rumours flying around.

    Let the games begin!

    Are they having the new constitution referendum at the same time? That means these elections will (most likely) become defunct and a new round set will have to take place, doesn't it?

    Paddy Guiney is also running for C&C.. He seems very enthusiastic about it. I say he could do a good job. Hes done a good bit this year while as sports officer.

    James Atkinson looks like he will be in that race, very popular and think he would do a great job as very enthusiastic and energetic

    Hes also got quite a strong stomach from seeing him during freshers week! Loved the attention and the spotlight.. He'd probably also do a pretty good job :)

    Paddy Guiney has announced for C&C and Sam Geoghegan has done the same for education.

    EDIT: James Atkinson has also declared for C&C.

    Announcements were made at 6 an hour after nominations closed
    President: Rachel Breslin

    Campaigns and Communications: Aisling Sheerin, Karl Gill, James Atkinson and Paddy Guiney.

    Education: Patrick Wolohan, Shane Comer, Sam Geoghegan

    Welfare: Mícheál Gallagher and Enda Conway

    Ents: Eoin Heffernan.

    That's from the Tribune's status, couldn't get the quote tags to work :S

    Surprised Wolohan decided to run for something :/ Dunno who'll bag education.

    Dont care about C&C in the slightest. Hope RON clinches it, he's so persistent, running every year and that.

    It's pretty clear who'll win the rest :P

    I have no alliances with any of the candidates, but I will not be voting someone in again if I saw no value in their work this term. I am unsure why the current education officer is running again after the recent issues.

    The only one I'm certain of so far is Gallagher for Welfare.

    Sam Geoghegan, in saying that, I have no idea what he's done. So he's either really bad at P.R. or really bad at the job.

    Saying that I'm probably being unfair seeing as I haven't really had cause to use the education officer this year. Anyone know anything about the other candidates?

    Most clever/well made campaign videos are lifted from somewhere else.
