Election to Council – Stage 2 forms

As advised previously, the Election Kit contains the forms and information for Members who are nominating for election to the Council of The Graduate Union. It includes an outline of the election process and the stages for submitting a nomination (Stage 1) and material to inform the voting decisions of Members of The Graduate Union (Stage 2).
