Election Results

The SU uses a Single Transferable Vote system, which means students rank the candidates for each position in order of preference. This means that their vote effectively never goes to waste as if their first-choice candidate is eliminated, their vote will transfer to their second-choice etc. The vote for each position is split into ‘rounds’. In each round, a threshold is calculated automatically based on the number of votes cast and number of candidates. A candidate must pass this threshold in order to win. If the threshold is not met, the candidate with the least amount of votes gets eliminated in each round, and their votes transferred, until one candidate has met the threshold and won.

The threshold will change in each round as we eliminate candidates. Below you will see the vote breakdown per position and the votes required for election in each round. Candidates who are eliminated are in red, and the winner is highlighted in green.
