About SRC Elections
University life isn’t just about lectures and labs. It’s about shaping your experience, making your voice heard, and leaving your mark.
Interested? You might want to run for Vice President Student Activities in our Spring Elections 2025 By-Election!
Twice a year, the power is in your hands. Spring elections fill most positions on the Students' Representative Council (SRC), while Autumn elections allow students to choose General, 1st Year, and Postgraduate reps, as well as fill any vacant seats.
This by-election is part of the Spring Elections 2025 and will elect a new VP Student Activities, one of the SRC’s four full-time sabbatical officers. If you’re passionate about student events, clubs, societies, volunteering, and student engagement, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.
No experience is needed - just passion, ideas, and a drive to improve student life at UofG.

Regulations
Please click to view our Election Regulations, and ensure you familiarise yourself with them before submitting your nomination.
By-elections are considered part of the same election cycle as the most recent election. This by-election is therefore considered a continuation of our Spring Elections 2025.
As per our election regulations, no member may run for more than one position on Council during the same election. This means that if you were a candidate in our Spring Elections 2025, you are not eligible to stand in the by-election.
