  • Your agreement to be a candidate and to abide by the election regulations.

You will also need the names and membership numbers of two Liberal Youth England members who are prepared to nominate you. Please get in touch with me if that requirement could cause a problem for you.

You can submit a manifesto with your nomination, which can be up to one side of A5.

There are some other elections going on at the same time, so make sure you say which region you’re interested in.

There will be an opportunity for candidates to make their pitch and take questions at the Conference. Only those Liberal Youth England members present in Cardiff will be able to vote in this election.
