Voting is open in the 2022 Cambridge SU election. 13 positions are up for election, five of which are contested.

Varsity invites students to share their views ahead of this vote by filling out this simple poll.

In tandem with this, the SU are holding a referendum asking whether students support the introduction of a Reading Week/Midterm Break in Michaelmas and Lent Terms.

Voting opened at 9am today (28/02) and will close at 5pm on Thursday, 3 March.

Competing for the role of SU Undergraduate President are Zaynab Ahmed and Zak Coleman. The winner will represent Cambridge’s undergraduate student body, working with the Postgraduate President and their team of sabbatical officers.

Varsity’s poll will run until 5pm on Wednesday, 2 March.

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.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!
