Officer Elections: what happened?

 

Each year, we hold an election for all BCU students to choose the 5 candidates that'll be part of our next Officer Team. This year, we had highest ever turn-out since records began with 6,420 voters submitting 18,431 preferential votes.

Thank you for voting!

 

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.
