Elections Hub

Oxford shapes the world, and students shape Oxford. Since 1961, the Students’ Union has represented and advocated for the student body. Our purpose remains clear: to ensure that student voices are heard, valued and able to influence decisions at every level of the University. Each year, students elect the officers and representatives who provide leadership and set our priorities. Your voice guides the SU and shapes the future of the Oxford student experience.

How voting works When voting opens, just log in to your Oxford SU account and you’ll be prompted to cast your vote.
The Count & Results Once voting has closed and any complaints are resolved, the results will be counted. As we use a Single Transferable Vote system, if there is no clear winner, multiple rounds of counting are often required to redistribute the votes.
