We are delighted to say that voting is officially underway in this year's Student Elections!
Every vote in the election matters and gives you the opportunity to have your student voice heard. Only UoB students get to decide who will become their next student leaders and in this post, you'll get to know the candidates who are hoping to receive your votes and the topics you can choose for the elected team to work on. Be quick though, you only have until 10:00 on Monday 17 March to get your vote in.
