This year’s spring election series is now finished, and Impact are pleased to announce the results of the new SU officer team for next year! Head to Instagram to see the highlights from our coverage of results night.

 

If you need a reminder on how single transferable voting (STV works): When voting in SU elections you will use a ‘single transferable vote’ system. This means that you will have to order all of the candidates listed in order of preference, i.e. your first pick candidate for the position is number 1, second is number 2, etc. There is a set number of votes that a candidate must reach in order to be elected, called the quota, which is calculated based on the number of votes and the number of spaces which need filled. If a candidate gets more votes than they need to reach the quota then their extra votes are moved to their second choice candidate. If no candidate reaches the quota, then the candidate with the fewest votes is removed and the people who voted for them have their votes moved instead to whoever their second choice candidate was. This process continues until all of the required vacancies are filled (for our SU elections this is just one vacancy per officer role). UoNSU uses single transferable voting because it allows for proportional representation, and means that voters are less likely to vote based on what they think other people will and rather based on the candidates that they really wish to win.
