Elections

About the elections

Your student reps shape LSESU's work, influence LSE decision making committees and impact your student experience. Running for a rep position is one of the best ways to have your say on how your Students' Union is run and create change at LSE - it's also a valuable source of professional work experience.

We run elections twice a year; during Michaelmas Term in October and during Lent Term in March.

Results for the Lent Term elections have been announced - you can find the results here.

You can find a more detailed breakdown of the results here.
