Society Elections

All Societies and Sports Club committees are run democratically – that means that every year, members get to nominate themselves and vote for the next academic years committee. These are usually held at the end of the current academic year for the next academic year.

Only members who have purchased membership to their group are eligible to run and vote in the elections. It's important to purchase your membership before elections go live if you want to nominate yourself or vote for your favourite candidate.

Society Elections FAQs

There'll be two rounds of ratification elections that are held each year. These elections are to fill in any missing roles from the committee throughout the year. One once term starts and one after winter break.

Get in touch with your designated communities lead and they can assist you with opening roles in the next ratification election

Make sure you’ve bought your membership before nominations open! You will be informed of the elections by your committee beforehand and will receive an email from The Union when they open with more information. You can also check out this handy tutorial.

Election dates are subject to change each year. Committees will be informed of the elections few weeks before nominations open to start spreading the word to members.

You can also contact us and a member of the team can inform you of this year's dates.
