In order to let the voters be familiar with the candidates, and to establish an interactive dialogue between them, voters can submit questions in PKUAA-NE WeChat groups to any or all the candidates during this period (certain time slots will be assigned for questionings, so that the candidates will not be overwhelmed). The questions can be any issues that voters are concerned about. Candidates should answer each question to their best ability and with total honesty. All the questions and answers will be visible to all the voters before they cast their votes. During this period, we encourage candidates to actively campaign, to approach voters, to answer voters' questions and concerns, and to help voters knowing them better.
The voting period will end on October 15, 2024, by midnight. There will be only one ballot. Candidate receiving the most votes will be elected. In case there is a tie for the first place, the candidates who tied will be the co-Presidents.
The result of the election of the next president of the Association will be announced at the upcoming PKUAA-NE annual meeting on October 27, 2024.
We encourage talented, enthusiastic, and experienced alumni to run for the president of PKUAA-NE. This is a great opportunity to serve our association and fellow alumni. We also welcome all the PKUAA-NE members to participate in this democratic process, by running for the president or nominating fellow alumni to run, and to vote for the best candidate for the next president of our association.
