Voting is
now open.

Voting in the Students’ Union Elections is now open. The Students’ Union runs elections so you can choose the students who will represent you and be your voice. Elected students help improve the Queen Mary student experience, set the direction of the Students’ Union, decide on student policy and run campaigns and projects that make a real difference. They also work with the University to ensure change happens on the issues students care about most.
