The position of VP Welfare is an important one and that show in the number of candidates – five. That’s more then any of the other sabbatical elections this year.

At Hull University Union, there are various documents containing rules and regulations that particular people are expected to follow. It’s like any other organisation really.

HUU Elections 2011 – The candidates (Part 1)
Feb 27th
My previous post can be found here. This year, I have noticed that there are fewer candidates for the executive positions.
