When can I vote?

Where do I vote?
All voting is done online and is accessible day and night whilst the polls are open.
Links through to the elections get a top spot on MyEd and the EUSA website.
How do I vote?
Students can vote for as many or as few positions as they want and can go back and change their vote up until the close of polls. You can rank all of the candidates in your order of preference, including “Re-open Nominations"
What is a Transferable Vote?
In any EUSA election you can rank candidates in order of preference. You choose your first choice and then rank as many or as few further candidates as you want. This means that if your first choice isn’t elected then your vote transfers to your second choice and so on.
Therefore, even if someone doesn’t want to put you as their first choice, you still want to persuade them to list you later on in their rankings as their vote could still clinch you a victory.
