Union Elections
The Union of Students is a democratic organisation to represent the students of the University of Derby. To do this, we have to elect students into officer and representative positions with specific tasks in order to best represent our members.
The elections are organised so that any student can stand for election and vote for who they want to see represent them throughout the year. These elected students will then lead the Union of Students on behalf of every member of the Union and coordinate our work and direction.
We’re on the lookout for passionate students who want to build community and make change.
If you know someone who you think would be an ideal candidate in our elections why don’t you recommend them using our simple form? This won’t nominate them it will just let them know that someone thinks they would be a great candidate.
It could be a housemate who's always up for planning activities, a student rep who's always listened and actioned your feedback or maybe a club committee member who leads your team well, and as a thank you for your recommendation, if the person you nominate puts themselves forward in the election, you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win £100! 🎉*
*Prize draw is only applicable to students
Remember, you'll neeed to log in if you want to nominate yourself or vote in the elections (when nominations/voting are open).
