The Leadership Elections are over. This year, 6,763 students cast 33,204 votes (including 2,141 abstentions).
This is the most ever votes cast in an election at UCL and we're excited to note that this year more postgraduates and more women voted.
59% of voters this Spring were women which is in line with the fact that the UCL campus is made up of 58% women. We are so thrilled to have seen a +5% increase in women voters from last year and an increase in women standing for leadership positions.
The new student leaders for the Union have been elected and they are…
