Varsity General Election Poll 2017
Cast your vote in our poll for who you want to become Cambridge’s MP

The poll is now closed. The results will be released shortly.
The country will head to the polls on June 8th. Though many are saying that a Conservative majority is a foregone conclusion, things are little more exciting in Cambridge. With Labour's Daniel Zeichner commanding a majority of just 599 votes in 2015, the Liberal Democrats' Julian Huppert is hopeful of taking back the seat he represented between 2010 and 2015 (his party having held it since 2005). The Tories will be looking to put in a stronger performance than previously, particularly with there being no UKIP candidate, while the Greens will be hoping to make the most of the sizeable student population.
To ensure only University members can take part in this poll, the website will ask for a Raven log in. However, this poll is completely anonymous and we will not store or pass on any of your personal information. You may change your answers at any time, but only the final submission from your anonymous identity will be counted in the results.
Results from Homerton and Girton (in the South Cambridgeshire constituency) are welcome, but will be separate in our analysis.
