Getting Started
Your first action will be to write your manifesto! These are compulsory for all candidates.
What is a Manifesto? A manifesto is an outline of who you are, why you are running for a role and what you intend to do should you be elected. In other words, introducing yourself to the voters.
Everyone wants to make a good first impression, right? Check out our tips for writing a polished manifesto below.

Campaign Materials
You've got your manifesto, and your friends know you're running for your post... That's a great start! You'll probably now find yourself asking how do I get my message out there to everyone else?
That's where campaign materials and promotion come in! From talking in lecture halls, to leafleting, to designing a poster, to social media - there's a lot of tools at your disposal to get your name out there.

Budgeting
Money... It makes the world go round. And to ensure that all our candidates are running on an even playing field, we have some rules and regulations about what is and isn't allowed when running their campaign.
We recommend you familiarise yourself with these rules before getting too carried away with your campaign planning.
