Q: Do I need to register to vote?
A: No, all you need is your UCL systems username and password. All full members of the Students' Union can vote. You automatically become a member of the SU when you register with UCL, unless you have expressly opted out.
Q: I don't use my username and password, can I still vote?
A: All UCL students are provided with a user account. If you do not know your username, you should contact the IS Helpdesk. Forgotten passwords cannot be issued over the phone unless you are registered for the User Authentication Service. You will need to visit the IS Helpdesk in person or ask them to post a new password to your registered home or term-time address. Voting is open until midday on Friday 8 March 2013, so this should allow time for you to get your new password.
