Nominations for the 2008 VUWSA general elections begin this week, two weeks later than the date allowed under the official constitution.
However, according to a legal loophole discovered by current Administration Vice-President Alexander Neilson, this postponement is permitted if it is intended for the “good management of the organisation.”
All 13 positions on the executive are open for nomination, as well as two positions on the Publications Committee and the position of Council Representative.
While current president Joel Cosgrove is understood not to be running for re-election, Campaigns Officer Sonny Thomas launched his campaign for the VUWSA presidency several weeks ago with a group on Facebook.
Nominations close 4:30 p.m. 16 September, with polls open 26 September. Role descriptions and nominations forms are available at the VUWSA offices, bottom floor of the Student Union Building.
