Nominations open Monday 4 February for the Leadership Elections 2019. This is the biggest democratic exercise at Imperial in which every student gets to decide who will lead in the following academic year. The highly anticipated event will see us choosing our President along with four Deputy Presidents, our Felix Editor, Constituent Union leaders, Liberation & Community Officers, CSP leaders, Union Council Chair, among others. Due to the breadth of roles, the impact of these elections on the student experience is massive and everyone is urged to get involved.
Some roles are paid and are a full time commitment, while others can be done while studying. There will be training and support for all candidates as well as those who are successful. More information on each position and training opportunities will be made available in the week before nominations open and throughout the month long nomination period. Nominations close Friday 1 March, while voting starts Monday 11 March. For the full election timetable, see below.
