► Why Vote

Elected Officers have the key responsibility to represent your views to the University and they play an important role in ensuring the quality of your teaching, learning and educational experience you get from the University of Plymouth.

They also seek to improve the quality, level and range of services your Students’ Union provides. The quality of our Student Officers and the level of service they provide is in your hands. One day you might need to rely on their support.

ARE THESE ELECTIONS REALLY IMPORTANT?

✔ 1.

This University recognises the UPSU officers as the official voice of the students.

✔ 2.

The more students that vote in the elections, the stronger our voice within the university. High voter turnout = big mandate = strong voice for students.

✔ 3.

These elections will determine who represents you to the university next year.

✔ 4.

The officers feed into the policy, practice, performance and perception of this university.

✔ 5.

Do you really want to risk the development of your student experience to just anyone?

✔ 6.

Do you really want to risk the value that your degree will have by not thinking carefully enough about who will help this university develop?

✔ 7.

Will it really make a difference? Who knows? However if you don’t vote, it is guaranteed that you will not make a difference.
