Elections at LSE are many things to many people. For some, it’s a way to get involved with the Students’ Union and improve LSE. For others, it might be the start of a career in politics. Elections provide an opportunity for students to make their voices heard and express views on how the School and Students’ Union should be run.
Houghton Street turns into a swarm of budding politicians offering leaflets, begging for votes, wearing costumes, holding signs, and pledging to improve your student experience. You’ll see Hustings at the UGM and in Halls and posters all over campus.
There are two rounds of Students’ Union Elections – the Michaelmas Term Elections in Week 4 of Michaelmas Term and the Lent Term Elections in Week 8 of Lent Term.
