For all these positions where there's only one nomination, does this mean they get elected by default?

Yeah I think so. There's probably some way of objecting though. The only people I know on that list are the two nominated for S.U. President.

Sarah Farrell gets my vote.

A bit disappointing that most positions have only one candidate. I guess it's another sign of apathy and a lack of community spirit in DCU students.

I don't think they get elected by defaul per se, I think they have to receive a minimum amount of votes, I could be mistaken though.

I'd have considered welfare officer, but now that it's part time I wouldn't have any time.
