You have until 1pm on February 28th to submit all the forms for the election.
How else can you get involved?
You don’t have to stand in the election to get involved!

Think someone may be a great fit to be a student leader but just need that little bit of encouragement, you can recommend them using our Recommend a Student feature on the elections page! Simply put their name, student ID if possible, what role you think they’d be great at and why you think they’d be great for it!
