Details for everyone -
Elections Day*
Date: 16/06/11, Thursday

Last year it ended at... 9pm++ I think.
Process of selection for MAD ExCo '11 - 121. Elections
2. Interviews
Both of which, will be conducted on the same day.
What will happen on Elections Day
- Old ExCo Address - quick runthrough of roles
- Every ExCo Applicant should make a speech addressed to everyone - reason for this is simple: ExCo is not meant to be merely involved with your own division, even if it means you're running for division head.
- Speech should be <1min (you may speak longer than this if you wish, but emphasis is still on being succinct)
Interviews
1. All running for exco will have to bring an object that you think best represents yourself and explain why.
2. Show us your hidden talent ( Anything but dance! Singing, juggling, acting cute?) Impress us!
3. We will interview you.
What happens if you can't make it for Elections Day - ExCo Applicants
A. Elections
- Film a video of your own speech
- Contact a member of the current ExCo, cc/SMS Kah How - pass us a copy of your video
- We will screen the video of your speech on elections day
- Voting will be conducted as though as you are there
B. Interviews
- We will make separate arrangements and interview you another day.
What happens if you can't make it for Elections Day - Non-ExCo Applicants
I. Elections
- We will film all the speeches
- We will arrange a date with you so you may vote for the next ExCo
Q&A
1. Will we get to vote for ExCo positions even if we aren't in the division (say, I'm a Bboy. Do I vote for who should be Modern Head?)
- Yes. Though of course, voting is NOT an absolute factor in deciding whether you eventually become part of the ExCo; i.e. even if you somehow secure 90% of the votes, it does not necessary guarantee you a place in ExCo.
2. Oh no we have An An prac! how?
We will schedule you such that you either have your interviews before prac, or after prac. so keep the day free anyways. Those not running for ExCo - you will definitely be on time for An An prac(:
3. Can I still withdraw my ExCo Application?
Yes. If you're only interested in dance for yourself (which is perfectly fine), please withdraw. If you eventually make it to ExCo despite your inclinations, life would be difficult for yourself and everyone because you have to commit time to things beyond individual pursuits. It is a committee that represents the whole of MAD, it is no longer just about yourself. Hence, some personal sacrifices are inevitable. If you can't do that (or see yourself doing that), withdraw.
4. I wanna change my ExCo application - can I still do that?
I won't judge. But it does make you appear a little fickle, don't you think?
Oh well. yes.
5. What will happen for interviews?
& you think I'll give you the answer to that now? :D
6. Can seniors sit in? :D
Feel free to drop by!
BUT. please do not disrupt interviews or elections process.
cheers,
kahhow.
