A Note On Cheating

To all HKE Nominees: President, VP, and Treasurer.

MUST READ!

The school election campaign process will begin on Monday the 24th and elections will begin on Monday the 31st.

Because of how we are running the polls and the campaign process (i.e. students can simply IM you with questions) there is one very important issue that needs to be discussed: cheating.

During the campaign process and the voting period (Monday 31st - Wed 2nd) we expect ALL candidates to act with honesty and integrity. During the campaign period, if a student IMs to ask you questions we expect them to be handled properly. Do not threaten, bribe, or guilt students into voting with you. Win on your merit, not how guilty you made somebody feel or how many shiny objects you are capable of giving them. Students found threatening, bribing, guilt tripping, or acting in otherwise negative behavior (you know what we mean) will be disqualified and stopped from running for any position again.

You are more than welcome to make posters, and post them around the school etc, but behave in a way becoming of a HKESCSG member.

Once campaign week is over (Friday 28th) there will be a 2 day calm down period over the weekend, and the following Monday 31st polls will be posted on the blogs. The only people allowed to vote in these polls are HKE Students. This means do NOT ask family members or friends outside of school to vote for you and do NOT use multiple IPs to vote for yourself repeatedly. The numbers of votes will be watched and any irregularities will be noted. IF you are found cheating in any way shape or form you will be disqualified from this election race and banned from all future elections.

This is an election for OUR school representatives and as such we expect them to behave in a way which truly represents the HKE Spirit: with honor and integrity.
