University of Warwick Students' Union Elections

No elections are currently running



 

Having Difficulties?

One of the most frequently asked queries we have during voting is that students are told they are not a current student, or that they don't belong to their faculty etc.

The reason for this is because at some point in the registration process with the University a data protection box has been pressed which has told the University NOT to pass on personal details to the Union.

This is often done unintentionally but is quite easily fixed, find out more on the University Data Protection page.
