[SUCS] Time for Elections!

[Imran Hussain]

The sun isn't out, the birds aren't singing, it's very wet, and my 
boiler is broken. What am I talking about? I hear you cry, Elections!

Interested in helping shape the best society on campus? Good, then keep 
on reading :)

If you have been a student member from at least the 7th of November and 
are expecting to still be a student in September of 2017 then you can 
run!

Nominations for positions on the executive committee, which lasts a 
whole calendar year, will be open on the 21st of November at 00:00, and 
will end on the 27th of November at 23:59. The standard rules apply, to 
be nominated for a position you must have 2 other student members put 
your name forward, an email must be sent to vote at sucs.org. Those 
students must have been members from 2 weeks before nominations open, so 
the 7th of November in this case.

Here's a list of positions and what you can expect to be doing:
