#UCCVotes 2017/18 – Full Results

By Rob O'Sullivan   Posted in News

With an approximate 30% increase in turnout, and a 1/3rd increase in amount of candidates, this round of UCC Students’ Union elections became a hectic time, particularly for the candidates, their teams, the people in the count, and the poor journos trying to cover all the chaos. The increased turnout & candidate levels meant that the count went on well into the next day, as we awaited the results of Equality and President. With the latter, while we knew the result, we did not know the stats…until now.
