Candidate removed from election for breach of elections rules.
The Leadership Race at The Students’ Union at UWE operates in a fair and democratic manner, where all candidates are governed by a clear set of policies, procedures, protocols and election rules.
Unfortunately, this year the election rules have been breached by a candidate, resulting in The Students’ Union at UWE taking the difficult decision to disqualify the candidate from this year’s Leadership Race.
The candidate was given the opportunity to appeal the decision but did not get back to the elections team.
Regrettably, this means that any votes cast for this candidate will now not be eligible for consideration. As The Students’ Union uses the single transferable voting system, we would like to reassure any affected students that their next preferences will be taken into account.
