The biggest election at uni
The biggest election at university is coming and this is your chance to bring about the changes you really want to see at Christ Church.

Full-Time Elections
3 posts are up for election.
The polls have closed.
If you have any issues then please email comms@ccsu.co.uk but be aware that only current registered students have access to the voting platform.
The theme on the elections website has changed this year, but the method of voting and the actual voting section hasn't changed so these videos are still useful for showing you how to cast your vote.
We use preferential voting which means that not only do you vote for your first choice candidate but you can also vote for your second choice and further. This means that if your first choice candidate gets knocked out of the voting early on, then your vote switches to your second place candidate.
This is in place for all elections and all methods so it's important you know this.
Here's what you need to do.
The simple video from our friends at LSU explains how it all works.
If you're having any issues or are unable to vote then please email elections@ccsu.co.uk.
This is the phase where you can apply (also known as Nominate or put yourself forward) for 1 of the 3 Student Leader roles. You can only nominate yourself for one role.
Once you're officially a candidates we need to get together to go through the process, ensure you know the procedures, and answer any of your questions before the campaigning and voting begins
This is when we publicly reveal who the candidates are in the elections and you get the chance to find out more about them before the voting period starts so that you can make an informed decision.
The candidates can now get out there and tell students why they deserve to be their next student leaders.
It's time to choose the next student leaders at Christ Church! Voting takes place online on this website.
We love stats and 1472 students have voted so far, so scroll down to see more.
