Elections

Your opportunity to choose who represents you

We use democratic elections to choose the people that will speak and act on your behalf

Every student at Leeds University can vote in the annual Leadership Race, while other elections may have certain requirements – you must be a current resident of a Halls of Residence to vote in its Halls Rep elections, for example.
