Your votes were counted and verified, and your new Student Leadership team will be:

They will start their roles (term of office) at the start of November.

How is this election counted?

We use alternative voting as the most fair and effective way of electing your Student Leaders.

This means that when you vote you put your candidates in order of preference. So, if you choose one candidate that you want to win you can 

When we count the votes, we first work out the quota. This is the number of votes a candidate needs to win. This is worked out by dividing the total number of valid votes by the number of available positions plus one. For example, if we have a role with one position available and 400 valid votes, the candidate would need 200 votes or more to be elected.
