More than 2,000 students have put themselves forward to lead clubs, societies and the students' union. This is the biggest election of its kind at any UK University, and we need your help to encourage as many people as possible to vote and elect next year's student leaders.
Help us spread the word about the election, and encourage as many students as possible to make their voice heard and cast their vote.
