The Open University Students Association holds biennial elections where student representatives are elected to its Central Executive Committee.
The Election Review Working Group was set up to evaluate the elections processes in 2016 and recommend improvements for future Students Association elections. As part of this review, two surveys were launched between January and February 2017 to gather feedback from students and candidates. This report presents the findings from these two surveys (referred to as the Student Survey and the Candidate Survey), which will inform further refinements to the election processes in anticipation of Elections 2018.
