All declared candidates are allowed to provide a PRE-APPROVED platform prior to elections to the election center website and to be shown during elections. All candidates must submit their platforms NO LATER than February 4th. Should platforms not be received by this date, you will NOT be allowed to use your platform/run at International Elections. Your platform will be sent in to confirm that everything is factual and fits the standards set out in this packet. You will receive either confirmation or mandatory edits within 24 hours from Joelle and/or Dan. We are not responsible for any spelling errors, grammar mistakes – those are your edits to make!
Please read the following guidelines very carefully, and do not hesitate to ask any questions. If any changes have to be made, you will need time to correct them before they are posted to the website. It is suggested that platforms are submitted as early as possible. Your platform will be posted ahead of the Convention for members worldwide to review for Elections ahead of time. We’ll email you prior to platforms being posted. Don’t leave it until the last minute.
Please upload your platform as a PDF.
