There were no complaints and therefore we ran the count at 6pm on March 7th an hour after elections closed, and the results were announced in the JCR.
We'd like to thank the candidates for all their hard work and running clean campaigns, and we congratulate them all for running and being a vital part of the SU's democracy!!
We use the Alternative Vote system where people rank their votes in order - and candidates are eliminated until the quota (50% of potential votes) is achieved. This came into play in a few elections below.

FULL-TIME POSITIONS
In the following election there was a tie after round 2. In this case we ran the elimination both ways, which had the same outcome.
