2026 Spring Elections
Every year Students’ Unions around the country give the student body the opportunity to decide who will lead their Union for the next academic year. As a democratic organisation, uea(su) is no different. All of our key decisions are made by students, for students. Our annual elections are the time when you can decide who should fill these leadership positions!

FAQs
What is an Election?
Elections at UEA(SU) are a vital process where students have the opportunity to nominate themselves for specific roles and seek support from their peers through votes. This democratic process allows students to actively participate in selecting the leaders of their Students' Union, ensuring that the SU is led by individuals who genuinely represent their interests. It is crucial for our work to be driven by the student body, enabling us to work in alignment with their needs and priorities. During our primary elections period in February/March, students will have the chance to elect individuals into full-time positions, each representing distinct student groups and advocating for various issues. The election serves as an open invitation for any eligible student to run for a role and provides an opportunity for fellow students to choose the representatives who will shape the direction and priorities of the SU for the upcoming academic year.
How do I nominate myself?
You can nominate yourself on the main Elections page when the time comes.
How do I run a campaign?
We have a candidate pack that provides all the key information you'll need. You can also find campaign resources in our candidate hub.
When does campaigning begin?
Campaigning for the 2026 election season starts Monday 23rd February and closes when the voting period ends.
What is a manifesto?
A manifesto is a brief statement presenting a candidate's platform and vision, aiming to persuade voters by outlining their experience, goals, and proposed initiatives for the improvement of the student experience at UEA. Your manifesto is not just a document; it's a manifesto for change, a roadmap that outlines your vision and commitment.
What support can I get?
We’ll be running a number of training sessions during the nomination period. If you need specific support during the elections, please email us as su.voice@uea.ac.uk.
How can I vote?
You can vote between the 23rd February and 2nd of March 2026.
What is a single-transferable vote?
You can find more information on how Single Transferable Votes work here.
Rules
The elections should be a fun and creative event. These election rules are in place to ensure a fair and transparent election.
