The Bristol SU Elections are your chance to shape what happens at the University of Bristol.
Every student deserves to get the most out of their time here. That starts with having people who represent what matters to you. From course issues to bigger topics like study spaces or cheaper hot meals on campus, your voice should be heard.
During the Bristol SU Elections, you can:
- Put yourself forward for a role
- Vote for the candidates you believe in
When do Bristol SU Elections happen?
Our main elections take place in Teaching Block 2 (TB2).
This is when you’ll see students campaigning across campus to win your vote.
In Teaching Block 1 (TB1), first-year students can become course reps and we run elections for postgraduate taught faculty reps.
We’ll always share key dates clearly, so it’s easy to get involved. There may also be by-elections throughout the year if roles become available.
- Using the Rep Finder to contact your representatives
- Sharing ideas through the SU Ideas Board
Who can you vote for?
You’ll be voting for students who represent you at university, in the local community, and beyond.
There are over 900 student representatives across the University of Bristol, including:
- Academic reps - This includes faculty reps and Education Officers
- Student Community Organisers - Students building campaigns and bringing others together around shared issues
- Democratic roles - Including student trustees and members of the Democratic Standards Committee, who help keep Bristol SU accountable
- Full-time Officers - Seven elected students working full-time to represent you on everything from education to housing and sport
You don’t need any experience to get involved. Just an interest in making student life better.
