Step-By-Step Guide to Nominating Yourself

Step 1: Log in to Your Guild Account

Visit exeterguild.com. Click the account profile icon in the top‑right corner of the homepage. Log in to access your Guild dashboard - if you are not already logged into your account on your device, you will need to complete a Magic Link to log into account.


Step 2: Access the Election Dashboard

You can get to your elections in one of two ways: Click the orange “Take Part” banner at the top of your dashboard (this appears when an active election is available), or click “Election Dashboard” from the menu on the left-hand side.


Step 3: View Available Roles

Once on the Election Dashboard, scroll through the list of all active roles under “Active Elections.” Find a role you're interested in and click “View Position.” Please note that all societies that you are a member of will have their elections listed on this page. Societies are listed in alphabetical order here. 


Step 4: Submit Your Nomination

On the role page, select “Apply.” Complete the nomination form as prompted - this includes adding an image (optional) and adding a 300-word candidate statement (mandatory).


Step 5: Review Your Candidate Information

After submitting, go back to your Election Dashboard. Open your Candidate Dashboard to view your submitted candidate information. If you would like to edit this information, you can do so by selecting "Edit" until nominations close at 5 pm on Friday, 19th Feburary.
