How to vote

We use the single transferrable voting (STV) method. This means that at least a majority of voters (over 50%) must prefer a candidate before they can win. For voters, it means that you don’t just vote for your favourite candidate, but you can let us know who is your second favourite, your third favourite, and so on.

• Log in to lusu.co.uk/vote with your University login details

• You vote by ranking your preferences: 1 indicates your first preferred candidate, 2 your second, and so on. Rank as many or as few candidates as you choose, or none at all

• Candidates need over 50% of the vote to win. If no one achieves this then the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are moved

• This process continues until, by gaining the later preferences of voters, a candidate exceeds the 50% required and is declared the winner.
