It was another record-breaking year for student democracy at SUSU, with 6,517 votes cast! There was some action-packed campaigning by some very dedicated candidates. Every student who voted had a say on the students who will lead our Students’ Union.
For the first time, more women than men voted in the Spring Elections (56 per cent of students are women), five out of seven sabbs for 2014-15 are women (the highest proportion ever!)
