- First and foremost: Open Door Policy: For door-to-door campaigning, you can engage an individual in their room as long as the door is open. You cannot step in the room unless invited. Please respect your fellow resident’s privacy.

-It is your responsibility to contact your Hall Director or Area Office to find out the rules for your building regarding posting flyers.

-You may hang flyers on RHF bulletin boards, however do not use RA bulletin boards. Please contact your RA to help you locate the RHF board.

-Handing out candy with mini-flyers attached is allowed. On this note, “giveaways” are OK during campaigning.

-You can endorse a candidate (i.e., run as a team), however please make sure the residents of your hall know that they do not have to vote for all candidates on that team if they do not want to.

Examples of Bad Campaigning:

-Going into a resident’s room and directing them to vote for you using their PID while you are there.

-Slander, destruction of other candidate’s flyers, and any other foul play are prohibited

--Please use your best judgement and respect the Virginia Tech Honor Code while campaigning. --
