MANIFESTO GUIDE
Writing a Manifesto
Need some inspiration for your manifesto?
Not sure how it should look or what kind of content you need to include?
A manifesto is a statement about who you are, what you want to do if elected and why students should vote for you. Every candidate must submit a manifesto that is no more than one side of A4.
Your manifesto, should simply state what you plan to do in your role and what changes you would make. It shouldn't to bad mouth your opposition, or make unrealistic promises. Think about what you can achieve and what other students need and what they would respond to well.
Some Top Tips for Writing your Manifesto:
-
Be concise and use clear language. Avoid long, complicated words.
-
Set out your previous experience and how this will help you if you got elected.
-
Set out your goals for your time in office and ensure they are realistic and achievable.
-
Your manifesto is about you and not your opponents. Don’t waste words trying to discredit them.
-
Talk about your skills that would indicate to voters your suitability for the role.
-
It doesn’t have to be long - in fact it shouldn’t be. Short and sweet works best. Your words should only be fit one side of the Manifesto form ( A4 sheet) this will be displayed to voters on the website and the Election voting system.
-
Be creative and inspiring.
Good Luck!
