  We were thrilled to see another increase in the numbers of students taking part in the Co-President elections this year, with a turnout of 7.7% (up from 4.4% this time last year).

The new Co-Presidents will start their role in July and begin training, and developing their goals for the year ahead.

*Understanding the breakdown tables:

• We use Single Transferable Vote in the SU Elections which allows students to vote for candidates in order of preference.
• In stage 1, you can see how many 1st Preference votes each candidate received.
• The candidates with the lowest number of votes are eliminated and their votes are re-assigned in order of the voters' preference ('+' column). Votes with no further preferences are shown as 'Non transferable'.
• For each elimination stage the new total is shown and again, the candidates with the lowest number are eliminated. 
• The candidate with the most votes in the final round is elected.
