After a week of amazing campaigning and voting for the MDXSU Elections, the results are now in…
2,289 students voted to decide who will lead Middlesex Students’ Union in 2016/17 - the largest turnout in MDXSU history - with 13.7% of Middlesex voting in this year's elections.
Thousands of votes were cast in the voting period between 10am Monday 29th February and midday Friday 4th March, with students voting in six elections for both full-time and part-time positions.
The candidates and their campaign teams spent the week sharing incredible campaign videos, speaking to hundreds of students across the university campus and halls, and making amazing speeches at Question Time. The imaginative manifestos and the passion and respect they demonstrated throughout the week are a credit to themselves and to MDX, and illustrate just what an incredible student population we have at Middlesex!
The amazing voter turnout would not have been possible without the hard work of the candidates and their campaign teams, and everyone involved should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved. Whether or not you were elected, we hope that standing and campaigning was a valuable experience in itself.
To reward and celebrate all candidates and campaigners, five awards for Best Video, Best Campaign, Most Innovative Campaign, Hardest Working Team and Candidate’s Candidate were given out at Results Night in MDX House, after being voted on by candidates and MDXSU staff.
Competition was very tough, though the winner of these four campaign award categories were:
Best Video – Gabriella Lafor
Best Campaign – Katie Dragomirova
Most Innovative Campaign – André Thompson
Hardest Working Team – Orla Hillary
Candidate’s Candidate – Joe Cox
