Oxford SU Leadership Elections HT 2026

Oxford Students’ Union is comprised of four elected, Full-Time Sabbatical Officers (these are paid positions with an annual salary of £31,318), and an additional set of Part-Time Officers. Officers of the Students’ Union are described within Bye-Law 3 as the primary representatives of the student body within the University of Oxford. Our Sabbatical Officers are the student leaders of the SU and essential for raising student voice at a senior University level. We believe students should be central to student representation and our Officers work closely with the Conference of Common Rooms to empower and support the diverse student community at the University of Oxford. Our Part-Time positions are voluntary, unpaid roles do not qualify as ‘major union office holders’ for the purposes of the Articles and the Education Act 1994. This means that any of our Part-Time Officers could go on to serve as a Sabbatical Officer and have the opportunity to run for a second term. Student Trustee positions are for up to two years and you can run for two consecutive or non-consecutive terms.

15 posts are up for election.

Nominations are now closed.

The polls are open and will close at 20:00 on Thursday 12 February 2026 (in 13 hours)
