We are delighted to announce that 1833 students cast over 7860 votes across all the elections. It's great to see such a fantastic turnout, and we're proud of everyone who participated in this process.
Democracy is crucial to BSU, and it is important that students participate in the leadership election process. These elections provide students with the opportunity to have their say and contribute to the running of their union. We believe that democracy is the cornerstone of a healthy society, and we're glad to see our students taking part in such large numbers.
