Your Students’ Union is entirely led by students. We have loads of opportunities throughout the year to vote on the future of your Union.

In autumn we elect our Union Councillors, Student Reps, International Students’ Committee, Sustainability Committee, Postgraduate Officers, and Representatives.

In the spring term we hold an even bigger election where we elect your full-time officers, liberation officers, and student trustees. During this election you’ll see banners over campus, freebies being given out, and loads of election events: Sussex students ❤ democracy.

We also have referenda which lets you vote for which issues the Union should be fighting for over the next three years.

You can find out about all the elected roles and what they actually do on our elected roles webpage.
