R.O.N.
Every position within the election also has a candidate listed as re-open nominations, or R.O.N. for short. This role is a way for you to declare that you don't feel any of the candidates would be fit for office and you instead feel nominations should be re-opened at a later date to allow new candidates to come forward.
Voting Information
Voting opens at 9am on Monday 4 March, and closes on Wednesday 6 March at 4pm, with the eagerly anticipated Results Night taking place the same night, as you find out who you’ve chosen to lead the Students’ Union in 2019/20.
Candidate Question Time
On Monday 25 February, we'll be gathering in the SU Main Hall for Candidate Question Time as our candidates take to the stage and answer questions from our panel, made up of members from our student media outlets. We'll also be offering you the opportunity to ask the candidates questions yourself. After all, the whole elections process is designed to enable you to have your say on who will represent your interests as a student at Royal Holloway, so it's only fair that you're given a chance to get involved. Simply submit your question using the survey below.
Submit a question
While we’ll do our best to ask your question, we cannot guarantee this due to time constraints on the night. Please also note that for your question to be considered, it must be aimed at all candidates standing for the respective position. We will not accept any questions aimed at a particular candidate or that apply to a specific point in an individual’s manifesto.
