    Yes to both. Once they have a valid student card, they can vote.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 4,574 Mod ✭✭✭✭dory


    So, any rumours on who's running for what yet? I saw the first of the posters today. Some lad going for VP Comm and Dev.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 151 ✭✭LittleKitty


    Think Spiked off Mikado is runing for Welfare. He would be great at it, he ran before and got beaten by 2 marks, id love to sse him get the post.

    (can I have my €50 now?)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,374 ✭✭✭Gone West


    He helped me write a mini sex novel paragraph the other day, and it was quality stuff.

    That was Equality, I believe :D

    And only after three recounts. He was ahead by 4 votes on the first count.

    In fairness, everyone will say they'll *fix* the paper and the website.

    Better to ask... HOW???

    Hi lads, Dave here. Just to confirm that I am running for VP/C&D.

    I'll start a blatant self-promotion thread with my manifesto in it in a bit so as not to take over this one. If you've any suggestions/criticisms/questions pm us here if you want or give us a shout on the e-mail (davidmoloney1@gmail.com)

    Cheers!

    Good point. Everyone says they're gonna fix it, and to be fair I think this year's VP C&D has improved it a lot.
    So ya, we want how you're going to fix it not just empty promises! ;)

    Care to tell us why?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 833 ✭✭✭pisslips


    Why do they put their posters up in lecture theatres?
    Also why do they put them up,I mean it's not gonna help me make a logical decision to vote for them just because I see their name!
    To test this sneaky subliminal tactic, I might put up a few VOTE PISSLIPS posters.
    My friend and I burst into fits of laughter today in a lecture when we saw VOTE JOE on the wall. It's somewhere between a D'umbelieveables sketch and a traffic sign.YIELD. VOTE TRAFFIC MERGING FROM THE LEFT!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,374 ✭✭✭Gone West


    Did anybody see the massive "vote joe" posters up on the outside wall of the engineering building.... Shiney new building with cheap mass photocopied giant letters sellotaped to the redbrick. Looks silly.

    Not to mention on top of other noticeboards all over campus. Even some club boards had important stuff obscured by random "joe" pages. No explanation, just vote for him. No manifesto, it seems. Just in your face VOTE ME! type crap. It's rather ignorant, really. I doubt this type of management would be very benificial for the SU.

    I would have voted for him based on the Chuck Norris quotes, were it not for the in yer face attitude.

    I was counting last year and I know one position had about 1900 votes. Presume they're all about the same (cept for Pats of course, only St.Pats peop can vote for it).

    Suppose if Kink has come out of the election closet I may as well too. I'm running for Irish Language and Cultural Affairs Officer.
    Vote for Clár Ní Chanainn people!........please?

    I'll put my manifesto up here soon. :)
