STUDENTS at Selby College got their first experience of the Alternative Vote (AV) system, as elections for next year’s Students’ Union took place.
Steve Schofield, union president, said: “With the referendum on the AV system less than a month away, we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to show students first-hand how the process works. We firmly believe that AV is a fairer voting system and it has worked extremely well in this election.”
Thomas Gordon and Jak Petch were elected as next year’s president and vice-president respectively.
