Petition to allow SU President Colin Clarke to be included on the ballot as a candidate for Thursday's ULSU Presidential election
Final supporters
This petition is calling on the returning officer of the election to accept SU President Colin Clarke's application to contest next Thursday's election. Colin fully accepts that he did not sign page three of his nomination form and that was a genuine mistake but this was not realised until after the deadline had passed. However, his application was accepted as completed and was given a receipt and was told he was accepted as a candidate. Colin had gathered the 60 signatures required and had signed page one of the application.
Colin has worked tirelessly over the last 10 months to represent UL students. Please sign this petition to allow him the chance to contest the election.

Colin is an unbelievably good President. Ideas like 'Pints with the President' are legendary and I hope the SU realise how lucky they are to have him. All the best Colin!
After going above and beyond for the ULSU this past year and gathering every signature needed all that is missing is his own signature. That is far too inconsequential to stop Colin from running again compared to everything he has achieved this year, and everyone in UL seems to be saying the same thing - let him run.
Common sense needed here! Let the man run for election he was given a receipt and verbally told all entry requirements were met.
I graduated in 2015. Colin is one of the hardest working people I know when it comes to student welfare. This would be such an injustice when he fully intended on applying.
As ULSU Clubs' Officer I have seen at first hand the work that Colin has carried out. It would be a shame to eliminate a chance of re-election.
Colin is intelligent, personable, and responsible: the best candidate for the UL Student Union President.
Great president, great lad. Bureaucracy shouldn't override common sense.

If his application was accepted he should be allowed to run. The mistake should have been spotted before application was accepted when it easily could have been amended.
