Elections Week - Your Vote Matters!

For the past few weeks, we’ve been buzzing about Elections Week, and the moment is finally here! Voting kicks off at 9am on Monday, March 3rd, and wraps up at 1pm on Thursday, March 6th.

But why should you vote? Because your student experience is shaped by the leaders you vote for this week. 

This week, we’ll be selecting the 2025/26 Elected Officer team, the team that will amplify your voice at the highest level. Many candidates have stepped forward because they truly believe they can bring about positive changes to enhance your student experience. 

What difference does a vote make? Have a look at what the previous Officers achieved:

• 24 Hour Library opening hours
• Extended University Bus Route
• Free Zoom access for all students
• £10k funding for suicide prevention training for personal tutors and support services
• Development of the sexual harassment policy
• More varied food options in campus cafes
• Free food parcels and Breakfast Club to support student in the cost of living crisis
• Influenced national housing policy to improve renters rights
• And so much more!

The candidates this year could be advocating for the exact issues that matter to you!
