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 14 March, and closes on Wednesday 16 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 2022/23.

Candidate Question Time

On Thursday 10 March, we'll be hosting Candidate Question Time, where each candidate will be quizzed on their manifestos, what they hope to achieve, and how they plan on going about it. You can even submit questions for the candidates 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.

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.
