Student Officer Elections 2026

The Students’ Union is led by five full-time, paid Elected Student Officers (Sabbatical Officers), elected each spring for the following academic year. These officers work as a team, each focusing on their specific remit to represent students and drive forward students’ interests at the University, local, and national levels. These Officers are elected by students in March and this year voting was open from 9am on the 9th until 5pm on the 12th of March.

This year, we had 23 candidates across the 5 positions. Turnout was 10% and 1,769 students voted in these elections and a total of 6,084 individual votes were cast. We'd like to say a huge thank you to all of our candidates and to everyone who voted in these elections!

 

The following candidates were elected:

Student President – Kaitlin Agius

Vice President for Activities – Hannah Cowie (re-elected)

Vice President for Communities – Mitalee Suchak
