What are SOAS SU Elections?

SOAS SU is an independent, democratic organisation (charity) led by students who are elected by our members (SOAS students). In our elections, students can stand to be, and vote for, elected student leaders, some voluntary, and some paid. These representatives are your voice and act on your behalf in the Union, University and wider community fighting for you on an institutional, local and national level. It is so important for students to take part and vote in these elections so that individuals are elected who represent YOUR views.

No elections are currently running

You'll need to log into the SOASUnion website, using your student log in to see full details and vote in the election!
