Our student election is SurreyDecides, the largest democratic event of its kind, when all the Union Officers are elected by a vote that takes place at the beginning of Semester 2. SurreyDecides is your opportunity to stand out from the crowd and become a student leader, no matter what stage you are in your studies or your previous experiences – any student can take part.
Following our election in February, we have two part-time positions available that we’re looking to fill:
Societies Chair in the Activity Zone
Community Zone Committee Member
We will recruit for these roles through what is called a bye-election. It is similar to the larger election we hold in Semester 2, however it is scaled down a bit as there are only two roles. There will still be the same process though, so you need to nominate yourself if you wish to stand (nominations open 21 October), you will also need to produce a manifesto (due by 28 October) and there will be an online Question Time event (30 October) when you will be asked questions about why you think you would make a great Union officer. Finally voting will open (30 October – 1 November), after which we will announce the winners. The only difference will be that unlike the main elections when you don’t start until August, you will start in your role right away!
If you have any questions, please visit our dedicated Bye-Election page for FAQs and more information.
