Glasgow SRC elections see poll boost

Student elections at the University of Glasgow last month enjoyed a record turnout.

Glasgow University Students' Representative Council (GUSRC) counted a total 1,486 unique voters - the highest since online polling began in 2006 – following the closing of Autumn election polls on October 19.

The election saw a total of 36 candidates vying for 22 available positions, albeit with only six of the constituencies contested.

Vice president of learning and development, James Harrison, said: "Our new structure allows for more layers of communication between our council and class reps, allowing for a much more active community of representatives. I look forward to working with our SRC over the year ahead."
