SU COMMUNITIES ELECTIONS

This is the phase where you can apply (put yourself forward) for a role.

You can only nominate yourself for one role.

All candidates will be announced by Essex SU as an official candidate in the SU Communities Election 2026/27.

You can start promoting that you are running for a position in the SU Communities Election!

It is your chance to do everything that you can to get the most votes in your category.

Use this period to convince the student body that you are the best person for the role and that they should vote for you.

Use posters, social media posts, leafleting and campaigning on campus.

The Campaign Hub will be available for all candidates in Colchester to use.

And voting is open! Now’s the time to make sure your audience are voting!!!

All eligible students can vote for who they want to lead Essex SU. Voting is available online and in voting booths on the Squares. This is when campaigning gets to its most intense and you’re pushing to get as many people to vote for you as possible.

Students vote in order of preference.

The results of the SU Communities Election 2026/27 are announced. If you’re a candidate, you cross your fingers that it’s you. Good luck!
