BSUnion Council 2012/2013 – VOTE NOW!

Assalamualaikum and Hello everyone!

We are now entering the voting phase to decide who will lead the BSUnion into the new academic year.

In order to make sure that all votes are “legal” and everyone votes only once, you will need to have your BSU number ready. For BSP and MinDef scholars, please enter the scholarship scheme that you are under instead of the BSU number.

At this point, I would like to point out that the BSUnion has not received a successful nomination for the post of Religious Secretary and Postgraduate Social and Welfare Secretary. As this is the case, the post for the Religious Secretary and Postgraduate Social and Welfare Secretary will not be up for nomination. It will be up to the next council to recruit an individual that they feel is suitable to the post in question.

The list of potential candidates and their testimonials and manifestos are available for your viewing under the tab Nominees.
