Student Elections: Monday 9 - Thursday 12 March 2026
ENSA is asking all Edinburgh Napier University students to cast their votes in the Student Elections over the week commencing Monday 9 March. You will be voting for which students you want to act as your representatives in the next academic year (2026/27).
The winning candidates will work for your Students’ Association for 1 year (starting in the summer) and will make decisions and policies that can have an impact on the student experience at Edinburgh Napier University.
They’ll be acting as the student voice to the University, so if you want to make sure the right people are speaking on your behalf to win improvements, use your vote and have your say! You could even win a fantastic prize in our lucky prize draw.

The students who have put themselves forward for a role are listed below - click on them to read their manifesto so you can make a decision on who you think will do the best job on your behalf.
You will also be able to vote to "Re-Open Nominations". This is used to indicate that you would prefer the nominations process for the post to be re-opened to allow new candidates to put themselves forward.
