Lancaster University Students’ Union is holding a by-election for the role of National Union of Students’ National Conference Delegate.
Your union elects three delegates to send to NUS National Conference each year, but one of the candidates elected in Michaelmas Term has stepped down, triggering a new election.
This year’s conference takes place in Liverpool from March 31 to April 2.
The National Union of Students (NUS) is a nationwide organisation who represent student issues across Further and Higher Education on a national scale. They lobby the government, support students' unions and work with other organisations to improve the life of students across the country.
Each year they hold a National Conference to debate the issues of the day, vote on national policy and elect their officers for the coming year.
Each students' union sends delegates to Conference to join in the debate and vote on policy and in the elections, and they are there on behalf of their members.
