On Saturday 1 October, nominations open for our Autumn Elections. You can take the lead and get involved with Imperial College Union.

We’re electing Ordinary Members of Council, Academic Representatives, some Club, Society & Project committee positions and our Graduate Students’ Union committee.

Ordinary Members of Council represent their Faculty at Union Council, the student-only decision making body of the Union.

We are also looking for at least two volunteers to represent each year of study for each undergraduate course, and at least one volunteer for each Master’s course.

If you are a Postgraduate, you can also stand for a number of positions on the Graduate Students' Union committee, which represents all Postgraduate students across the College.

Details about Club, Society & Project positions and the elections itself will be available online next week. In the mean time, here are the key dates for this election:
