VOTE!

The Guild e voting system means that you can cast your vote from any computer with internet access.

If you would like to vote at a ballot station, a list of locations for the week is available here

Look at the candidates webpages, manifestos, videos and hustings (last one at 1pm, Mermaid Square on Tuesday) and exercise your democratic right.

In wider society, the rise of racist and fascist parties should teach us a lesson: they opportunise our apathy, relying on low voter turnout for their political advantage.
Across the world, men and women have died to ensure that we have a right to vote, and live in a democratic society. Less than 100 years ago, the suffragettes were fighting for the rights of women to vote.
We need to get into a culture of voting, and it is proven that students who vote in Student Union elections are likely to continue voting in later life.

To vote, you need to log onto my.bham, and click on the my place link.
