SU Student Elections

The Students’ Union’s elections are your opportunity to lead your SU; by either standing for one of our Student Leader's positions or voting on who you think should be representing you to the university. Every year you elect several students who will run campaigns on your behalf and challenge the university to make life better for students.

Results

In total, 2673 students took part in our elections. This is a record breaking number of voters involved in our SU Elections. So Firstly, a big thank you to all of our candidates and students for taking part and ensuring your voices were heard. Below are the results! We use single transferrable voting - which means students could vote in order of preference. How we work out the results, is by setting a quota (total number of votes cast for a role divided by 2 and then you add one). If a candidate has not reached quota per round, we remove the candidate with the least votes and then re-distribute their second preference choice votes. We repeat this process untill a candidate reaches quota and they are elected.
