⚠️BCUSU Update (Monday 13th April)

BCUSU aims to facilitate a free and fair election for all candidates and students, in accordance to our rules which are outlined to all candidates before our Officer Elections start.

Following the outcome of our Elections Complaints process, conducted by BCUSU's Deputy Returning Officer and upheld by NUS, a decision has been made to disqualify Mifzal Kokab from the election. The content and findings of this process will remain confidential.

Voting results:

To be elected, a candidate needs to reach a minimum amount of votes, known as the quota. The quota is based on the total number of votes cast for each position.

Every voter has one transferable vote for each position. Once the counting has finished, the candidate who has more first-choice votes than the quota is elected. If no one reaches the quota in the first round, then the least popular candidate is eliminated. People who voted for them have their vote transfered to their second favourite candidate. This process continues until a clear winner is identified.
