If you are a fully paid member of the student group in question and a current Royal Holloway student (and will be a current RHUL student in September) then you are eligible to run for a committee position. Please note, associate members are not eligible to stand or vote in the election.

You can only hold one role on a group's committee at once. If you run and win multiple positions, you will be given the position in the order of importance below:

• President
• Secretary
• Treasurer
• Any other position

You can hold a position on multiple committees at once (i.e. you could be President of American Football as well as Treasurer of Pokémon Society) but we do advise that you think about the time you need to dedicate to a role and do not overburden yourself.

Yes, committee members are not exempt from the requirement to purchase a group membership in order to run in the election.

First of all, you need to check that you are a fully paid member of the student group in question. You can do this by going to Account > Memberships - this will show you all the groups you own membership for. If the group isn't listed, you'll need to purchase a membership. If it is listed but you still can't vote, please email phillip.dowler@su.rhul.ac.uk.

You will find out the results of the elections on Friday 15 October - we'll publish all the results on the RHSU website and send them out in Friday's email. Once this has all been processed we will be in touch with details of the training you will be given in your new roles.
