Election Guide
Electronic Submission of Applications
WHEN CAN CANDIDACIES BE SUBMITTED?
Candidacies can be submitted from the time the election announcements are published, which is no later than ten days before voting day. The deadline for submitting candidacies is three days before the voting day, on a business day, with the end of work of the Office of the Board of the Students’ Union of the UW on that day. If the day of the deadline falls on a holiday, the deadline expires on the last business day before that day (for example, if voting begins on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, the deadline for submitting applications is already Friday of the previous week). The daily date of the deadline for filing nominations is included in the election notice each time.
WHERE CAN I FIND CANDIDATURE FORMS?
All downloadable document forms can be found in the “Wzory wniosków i zgłoszeń” tab.
HOW TO FILL OUT THE FORM?
The recommended form is to print out the model form (an unaffiliated candidate form or candidate list form), manually fill in its individual sections, and then scan the completed document. If it is not possible to make a scan with a device designed for this purpose, it is acceptable to photograph the completed application in a quality that allows you to see its contents.
HOW TO SUBMIT AN CANDIDATURE?
The electronic form of the completed application, obtained as a result of scanning or photographing, should be attached as an attachment to an e-mail message, which should be sent to the e-mail address of the Office of the Board of the Students’ Union of the UW: biuro@samorzad.uw.edu.pl. For housekeeping purposes, please include in the title of the message the name of the candidate (in the case of a list of candidates, its name), as well as the name or abbreviation of the unit. The message itself does not have to contain the content – the most important thing is the attached application as an attachment!
NOTE!
The message with the attached application MUST be sent from an email account with a domain identified with the University of Warsaw (e.g. student@uw.edu.pl, samorzad@uw.edu.pl)!
NOTE!
The message must be sent during the working hours of the Office of the Board of the Students’ Union of the UW! If the document is submitted during the Office’s closed time, the submission will be considered accepted only on the next business day when the Office is open.
