Welcome to the Students’ Union Elections 2022.

There is a President and Vice President of Activities, Campaigns and Welfare who work on a full-time basis. They are your voice and act as your representatives to ensure actions are taken in the union, institution and wider community, fighting for you on institutional, local and national level. 

Candidates produce manifestos that contain the ideas and principles of their campaigns. Ask yourself if they display key creative and communicative skills that you would like to see in someone who is representing you and your needs. 

You can nominate yourself for the election! You just need two students to support your candidacy. It's a fun experience and an excellent opportunity to develop your leadership and communication skills.

RSU Constitution

Election Regulations

You are strongly advised to read the relevant role description and election regulations before submitting your nomination. Please refer to the Students' Union Constitution 2022 to understand the structure of the SU, its decision-making process and financial management.

If you do not feel any of the candidates standing in a position have any qualities you feel are valuable, or you do not agree with their manifesto, you can vote RON. RON stands for 're-open nominations'. This means, should RON be more popular than any of the other candidates, no one would be elected to this role and the nominations for the role would reopen, giving the opportunity to find the right person to lead your union.
