Union Elections

1. The Election Process & Voting

 

 

SOAS Students' Union holds elections in both Spring and Autumn

Spring Elections: 4 sabbatical roles and the majority of the executive officer roles

Autumn Elections: Postgraduate and Mature student officer roles, and any roles unfilled from the Spring

 

The above timeline shows how our elections work!

 

You can apply for positions through the above Elections Widget.

If applying for a Liberation Officer position you must first self-identify with that liveration group. You can do this through the Elections Widget by going onto your Profile.

We advise all students to read the above SAOS SU Elections Handbook before nominating yourself for a position!

 

All voting is done online, also through the above Elections Widget!
