Please be advised that no ballots for the elections have yet been issued. After a week and a bit with some turmoil in the Cowley St office, we are back on track with somewhat reduced deadlines. An external mailing company will be dealing with the posting of ballot papers and manifesto booklets, arriving Friday 11th at the earliest, and Monday 14th or later more likely.
I have thus set a new deadline for votes to be returned, being June 28th, with the count scheduled for the following day.
A new opportunity for an online hustings event has arisen. The web address for details of this will be published in the manifesto booklet. Alan Belmore and Paddy Elsdon tell me that they are arranging their chair candidate hustings for a date next week, I am sure they or I will be in touch with you about that should this develop further.
In the meantime, I have been asked if the rest of you (GEMs, VCs and committees) could assist in the scheduling of the times next week when the LY Elections team should host an online hustings.
These hustings will be held using the Skype software and chaired by a member of the current Executive, ideally one who is not up for election. Members of Liberal Youth will be able to submit questions to the chair. You will need to register for a Skype account and download the software if you have not already.
A webcam is not needed, a microphone is desirable for speed and clarity, but again not needed. If you cannot attend the hustings your position is scheduled for, you will have the opportunity to submit a short general statement to the Chair, and an email address for further questions.
