Union By-Elections 2021 - The Candidates

It's not quite time to vote yet, but you don't have to wait long. Voting opens Monday 10th May 2021 at 9.00am and closes on Friday 14th May 2021 at 1.00pm. All you need to do is login to the Union of Students website using your UDo login information, go to the elections page, and you’re ready to vote. 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. Also, as we use Single Transferrable Voting, you get to rank candidates for each role in order of preference – that means if your first choice can't win, your vote will transfer to your second choice (and so on). Pretty cool, huh? Well, we think so. Also, if you're not keen on any of the candidates you can vote for RON (not Weasley, it stands for Re-Open Nominations)

It's so important for all students to vote so that you elect the people who are going to effectively represent you and the changes you want to see for the next academic year. It only takes a few minutes and it makes such a massive difference!
