Student Elections 2025

How to vote

All registered students at the University of Bedfordshire, from all UK campuses, are eligible to vote.

We use the Alternative Vote (AV) system. This means that voters can rank candidates and the student priorities in order of preference. Instead of putting a cross in a box next to your favourite candidate, voters can put a 1 next to their 1st choice, a 2 next to their 2nd choice, and so on. 

Voters can rank as many or as few candidates as they choose. The same process should be used for choosing the campaign priorities you would like to see the elected individuals work on.
