To every one who stood for a role, campaigned or voted, we want to say a huge thank you. Thank you for being a part of the Union By-Elections and thank you for helping to shape the future of the University of Derby. You have all made a huge difference and your voice has contributed to creating positive change.
The results were formally announced at the By-Election Results Night event on Thursday 2nd May at The Maypole in Derby. We had 1,767 votes cast in this year’s Union By-Elections and we’d like to say another huge congratulations to all the candidates who were elected and, of course, to everyone who took part. The elected students will now go on to lead the Union of Students on behalf of every student at Derby, so who you voted for really does make such a difference! The elected officers coordinate the work and direction of the Union to best fulfil their vision and that of the students.
