By running for this position, candidates and their
supporters agree to follow the election rules stated here.
1. Maintaining a Fair Environment
·Candidates and their supporters must not create
an intimidating or uncomfortable environment for other candidates, or students.
Candidates and members of their campaign team (if they have one) are also
responsible for fair conduct for the duration of the campaign. Any incidents that
go against these rules have to be reported to the SU office.
·You must not deface, tear down, cover up or in
any other way interfere with the other candidates posters. If a candidate is
caught doing any of the above, this will mean immediate disqualification.
·You cannot make promises that do not have a
realistic basis, e.g., you cannot promise that you will make IADT get the
students a swimming pool if you do not have any plans to back this up. If the
Returning Officer is in doubt about any of your claims, they can ask for a
detailed run-through of how it would work. If it is seen to be a case of ‘false
promise’, you will be asked to remove it from your manifesto and election
material.
·Candidates and their supporters may not exceed
€20 for out-of-pocket spending and fair market value of donations of materials,
professional services. Candidates must submit all receipts
and proof of fair market value to Students Union.
·Candidates can print out 40 A4 and 30 A3 sheets.
It’s up to the candidates to decide their allocation of posters/manifestos.
·Any candidates who cannot fully commit to
fulfilling their duties for any reason as laid out in the Constitution must
make the student body fully aware of this, i.e., in hustings and manifesto.
2. Early Campaigning
Candidates and their supporters must refrain from the following campaign
activities until campaigning officially begins:
distributing printed or
electronic campaign material to the public,
advertising candidacy by
chalk, poster or other method designed for public viewing, or,
making speeches or statements to student organizations

Mentorship Scheme: The SU is trying to get as much feedback as possible from students about what they'd want to see from the mentorship scheme. If you're a student of IADT (past or present!) and have some ideas about what would've benefited you, if you could email them to
, it'd be much appreciated!
There's a form linked on this post below that has information about where the Mentorship Scheme is at at the minute, and a place to fill in your suggestions and thoughts about it.
