Enwebiadau’n agor: Dydd Llun 14eg Medi, 10:00
Enwebiadau’n cau: Dydd Iau 22ain Hydref, 18:00
Sut i gyflwyno enwebiad: Ewch i https://cardiffstudents.typeform.com/SUSenate2026, a chyflwynwch eich enwebiad.
Ar gyfer yr etholiad hwn gofynnir i bob ymgeisydd ateb dau gwestiwn. Nod y cwestiynau hyn yw helpu myfyrwyr i ddeall sut fyddech yn eu cynrychioli pe byddech yn cael eich ethol, a beth fyddai eich blaenoriaethau. Mae gan ymgeiswyr hyd at 500 llythyren a gwagle (tua 80 gair) ar gyfer pob cwestiwn.
Isod gallwch ddod o hyd i’r rolau sydd ar gael. Mae’r nifer o bob rôl sydd ar gael i’w weld yn y cromfachau.
Meini Prawf Cymhwysedd: I fod yn gymwys i sefyll yn yr etholiad hwn rhaid i chi fod naill ai'n fyfyriwr ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd neu'n Swyddog Sabothol presennol (yn unol â dogfennau llywodraethu'r Undeb) ar ddiwedd y cyfnod enwebu. Mae yna hefyd feini prawf cymhwysedd ychwanegol ar gyfer rhai rolau yn yr etholiad hwn fel yr amlinellir yn y ddogfen sydd wedi’i hatodi. Rhaid i'r rhai sy'n ymgeisio am swyddi Swyddog Ymgyrchu fod yn fyfyrwyr ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd am gyfnod y rôl (o 1af Gorffennaf 2026 i 30ain Mehefin 2027).
Gofynion Addas i Sefyll: Wrth gyflwyno eu henwebiadau, gofynnir i fyfyrwyr gadarnhau eu bod yn 'addas i sefyll'. Mae hyn yn golygu nad oes gan ymgeiswyr sy'n sefyll yn yr etholiad, hyd y gwyddant ac ar adeg cau'r enwebiadau, unrhyw ymchwiliadau presennol na chwynion blaenorol yn eu herbyn mewn materion sy'n ymwneud â chamymddwyn rhywiol, ymddygiad rhywiol amhriodol, cam-drin perthynas a pherthnasoedd afiach, ymosodiad rhywiol, trais rhywiol, trais, cam-drin, aflonyddu, bwlio, troseddau casineb, ymddygiad troseddol, ymosodiad corfforol, neu wahaniaethu. Ni fydd unrhyw fyfyrwyr sy'n methu â chadarnhau eu bod yn 'addas i sefyll' yn gymwys i sefyll yn yr etholiad.
