Win by default? Not according to TRUSU bylaws

While I try to hunt down the potential student reps for comment, I thought I'd do some light reading...

Thompson Rivers University Student's Union Constitution & Bylaws

With the new candidates announced there has been some concern about the positions that only have one candidate running. I was told yesterday by a TRUSU staffer (who works the desk) that some people have already "won". Cam on Campus also stated in his blog that there are already "default winners."

I would like to bring him some reassurance: TRUSU bylaws state otherwise.

According to the TRUSU bylaws:

BY-LAW VII - ELECTION OF COUNCIL

6. Voting
b) If only one (1) nomination is received for a particular office, members shall be asked on the ballot to approve or disapprove of the nominee. The nominee must receive the approval of the majority of the ballots cast to be declared duly elected.

So Jambo, Abdallah, Muteb, and Jordan will still need to win the students approval.
