How it works

4 simple steps
  1. Choose your role

    Candidates use Candidates. SRC members and organisation representatives use SRC. Election staff use Site Admin.

  2. Start your nomination

    Candidates complete the public nomination form or use their organisation invitation. An account is created after email verification. Staff and SRC representatives request issued access.

  3. Enter your email and password

    Returning candidates use the email and password chosen during nomination. Other portal users use their issued account.

  4. Verify your email

    Enter the six-digit code sent to that email address. Check spam if it does not arrive.

Good to know

Candidates create their account as part of a nomination and verify their email. SRC representatives and election staff still need accounts issued by an administrator.

Your next step

Codes expire after ten minutes and work once. Wait 60 seconds before requesting another. Never share your password or code.
