Good morning everyone,
Big morning on campus today. If you’ve walked past the SU or anywhere near central campus you’ve probably already noticed the colours, posters and candidates suddenly appearing everywhere. That’s because Spring Officer Elections voting is now open.
Every single one of you receiving this email can vote, and you really should.
Whether you’ve enjoyed having your current President (me) around and want someone who builds on that work next year, or you thought “Hmm… we could do better”, the solution in both cases is the same: vote.
These roles are not just titles. The people you elect will represent students, challenge the university when needed, and shape what the SU focuses on next year. Your vote is how you decide who gets that responsibility.
Also, this week is one of the liveliest weeks on campus. You’ll see candidates campaigning everywhere, there will be events, freebies, and plenty of chances to speak to people running.
But the real perk of voting is much simpler: it gives you ownership. If you vote, you have every right to hold those representatives accountable next year.
You can also send your questions to the candidates ahead of their Question Times on Monday and Tuesday. If there’s something you care about, now’s the time to ask it.
So when you see the posters, the campaign teams, or someone enthusiastically trying to hand you a leaflet, you know what to do: Take a minute, read what people stand for, and cast your vote.
It really does matter.
