Our Voting System

Our voting system puts the power in the hands of the students, and ensures that they have the opportunity to vote for their favourite candidate, their second favourite candidate, and so on, until all of their votes have been used up.

We have had our voting system in place for a number of years, and it is the system preferred by National Union of Students because it is the most democratic. It is the only system under which every vote counts – basing the votes on the order of preference of each candidate.

The voting system is referenced in our byelaws, specifically byelaw 3.6. If you would like a downloadable copy of our byelaws, please email studentvoice@chester.ac.uk.
