The constitution clearly outlines the roles, responsibilities and expectations of executives. In order to run for a position in the DevSoc Election, you will need to either nominate yourself for a position or be nominated by someone else.

Before considering any executive position for DevSoc, it is highly recommended that you read the duty descriptions beforehand: https://devsoc.atlassian.net/wiki/x/EAAyCQ

This clearly outlines the roles, responsibilities and expectations of executives. Should you be elected, a thorough understanding of this document will be required so best to read it now!

 

In order to run for an executive position, you have to be a full member of DevSoc when you nominate. This means that you are a UNSW student with a valid zID from the time of nomination until the end of 2025 and are an a member on the Arc Membership Portal.

In order to run for a position in the election, you will need to either nominate yourself for a position or be nominated by someone else who is also a full member of DevSoc.

Once nominations are open, you will be able to submit your nomination by emailing elections@devsoc.app with:

  • Your full name and zID, or the full name and zID of the person you are nominating;

  • The position you or the person you are nominating is going for;

  • Optional: A link to a profile (website, presentation, or document) where people can find out more about you;

  • CC either the person you are nominating, or a person who will second your nomination of yourself (if you are nominating yourself, the person who is seconding you has to reply to your email seconding your nomination. If you're nominating someone else, that person has to reply to the email confirming their nomination). Be sure to use a zID email!

If you're planning on running for multiple positions, then make sure you include your preference for positions.

 

If you would like to create a website, you can find some helpful templates here: HTML5 UP . Another simple option is Google sites: https://sites.google.com/
