Voting Opens

Well, it’s finally come. Voting has opened in the Students Union elections, and Houghton Street is crammed with hacks trying to gain votes with colourful banners, plentiful fliers and simply shouting students into submission as they try to make their way to classes.

The polls will remain open through tomorrow afternoon, providing ample time for students to weigh in on the various choices – although as the Beaver’s cover story reports today four of the positions are uncontested. In principle RON (re-open nominations) votes could defeat any of the unopposed candidates, but the Observer has heard that this is unprecedented.

Voting is taking place in the Quad, as well as online via the Students Union website and the Election website.
