By-Elections

The Students’ Union seeks to be a democratic, member-led organisation, and thus we have an election process which gives every student the chance to vote for the officers who will represent the student body for a year.

 

All elected students are there to represent you, the students, and your needs and views.

The elected positions take the form of 6 Sabbatical Officers and 12 Student Officers each for both Luton and Bedford. The Sabbatical Officers work full time for the Union and get paid to deal with specific aspects of the Students’ Union, ie Education or Welfare.

The main elections are held in March, so keep an eye out for information if you want to run for a position next year.

 

All those positions that don’t get filled in March are advertised again for the By-Elections. This is where we need you! We have some positions that we need you guys to run for.

The Student Officers are students who have an interest in a specific area of the Union and may want to build up their CV for example. They work part time alongside their studies and are not paid. The key thing is that you do not have to work on your own. Most officers work as a team meaning that you can plan your time and the tasks that you take on. You only need to take on what you feel you can do, it’s essential that you remember that you are here to do a degree and this should be your first priority.
