Access requirements
Election admin
NUS elections have demographic requirements. To run the count, we duplicate the position once voting has closed, including all candidates.
- Go to the NUS position.
- Click "Clone"
- Check "Clone existing candidates?" and then check "Clone existing ballots and votes?"
- Run clone.
- Edit the new position and rename it, removing 'clone' and adding something to clarify it is the self-definition position.
- On the self-definition position:
- Go to "Manage candidates"
- Edit any candidates that are not self-defining in the demographic and change their status to "Withdrawn".
- Edit the post and change vacancies to half the total vacancies, OR the number of candidates, whichever is lower.
- Save.
- Run count.
- These are the self-definition winners.
- On the original position:
- Go to "Manage candidates"
- Edit any candidates that are self-defining in the demographic and change their status to "Withdrawn".
- Edit the post and rename it to explain it is not the self-definition position.
- Edit the post and change vacancies to the original total minus however many were used/elected in the self-definition position.
- Save.
- Run count.
- These are the non-self-definition winners.
