Throughout the year you will have the main say in all things electoral, from elections in Council, to the Annual Elections in Hilary. You will chair the Elections Committee as well as resolving complaints and disputes within the Annual Elections. This is one of the most crucial student volunteer roles within Oxford SU.

Steering Committee is comprised of two elected student steering members, the Chair, the President, and the Returning Officer. Steering is the committee tasked with deciding the agenda for the coming Council.

Steering are also the group responsible for ensuring that an All Student Consultation is held, if called for.
