The wait is over, the rumour-mill has ceased trading, the whispers can stop - the Union Elections candidate list is finally here!
We have had a fantastic turn-out for the Union Elections 2020 and are so excited to see so many of you putting yourselves forward for our roles, and so many of you coming back for a second year (surely a testament to how fantastic our roles are?) - it's going to be a great race!
It's not quite time to cast your votes yet, but you don't have to wait long. Voting opens on 27th February at 12.00pm and closes on 6th March at 1.00pm. All you need to do is login to the Union of Students website, go to derbyunion.co.uk/elections and cast your votes. Remember, you don't have to vote for all positions at once, you can come back and vote as many times as you like during the voting period. You also get to vote for all candidates in order of preference, so you don't just vote for one candidate, you rank them all in order. That means if you first choice doesn't win, you can vote for your second-favourite person too. Pretty cool, huh? Well, we think so.
Not only that, but as a thank-you for voting, we also automatically enter all voters in to a free prize draw to win a £200 Amazon voucher, so it really is worth your time, not only for democracy's sake, but so you can be in with a chance to seriously treat yo'self! So make sure you pencil in some time to cast your votes...
