Why Vote

Why Vote?

Your Student Reps will represent you and your views to the Students' Union and to the University for the academic year.

These Reps have a seat at the table at important meetings, the ability to get issues on the agenda and access to the staff of Queen’s who can implement changes you and your fellow students want.

They really do have the ability to make a real impact on your student experience at Queen’s - so it makes sense that you vote for someone who you believe will listen to you and represent you well!

There are loads of reasons why you should vote below!


  • Your Student Reps really can change the things that affect you

    Like:

    • Improving the quality of course content and teaching
    • Organising study skill sessions
    • Securing longer study space opening hours
    • Extending the dates of deadlines
    • Organising School Feedback Sessions to engage other students
    • Organising events with other student reps
    • Working with lecturers to improve the format of assessment and feedback
    • Helping signpost students to important support services
    • Listening to you and helping to change everything else that’s important to you
  • It's easy to find out all about the Candidates

    Have a look at The Candidates who are running and read their manifestos.

    They outline their pledges and promises and will let you know what they plan to do for you if they get elected.

    It’s important to read these so you can pick the best team to represent you.

  • Your vote matters

    In the past, it has sometimes been a really close call between Candidates, so every single vote really does count.

  • Voting is easy

    It’s all online and there’s handy Vote Step-by-Step and Vote Smart guides.

  • Voting takes no time at all

    You can do it from the comfort of your own home, and it only takes 5-10 mins tops.

  • It's completely anonymous

    Now that you know all the reasons you should vote, you should have a look at all the Candidates in the running.
