Your Elections

At Sunderland Students' Union, everything we do is for students and lots of it is decided by students. We do this by having a dedicated Elected Officer Team (Your Exec) who are elected by you, the student body, to lead the organisation and make sure that your student voice is represented in the Union, within the University and more widely.

They work closely with our permanent staff, who provide the skills and experience needed to deliver the Students’ Union services.

SU Elections

Your Officers are elected once a year during SU Elections. Nominations for the next round of SU Elections will open in early 2025.

In the meantime, why don’t you check who’s representing you in 2023/2024?

NUS Elections

We run Elections to decide our NUS Conference Delegates. The National Students' Union (NUS) Conference provides the opportunity for SUs to meet and discuss policy changes they would like to see enacted by NUS. We send student delegates to represent Sunderland Students' Union and the 2024 Conference will take place in April.
