OUStudents Elections are now open! Our Student Leadership Team and our Student Trustees are elected by students, for students. Every single student member has the opportunity to nominate themselves in the student elections, and all get to have a say in who represents them during the voting period.
Nominations opened on the 12th of March and will be closing on the 26th of March. Candidates will be announced on the 9th of April and voting will begin on the 19th of April. Voting will then close on the 8th of May and the results will be announced on the 10th of May.
A by-election goes ahead when roles are left vacant due to a lack of nominations, or withdrawals after a student has been elected. They run in the same way as the spring elections, and all eligible students are invited to put themselves forward to become a part of the Association's Student Leadership Team.
