The voting system will be carried out in order of preference ie PR STV, grading
each option from 1 to 5 where 1 is your most preferred option and 5 your

You do not have to give your preference for every option. You may just give
one preference or more, it is up to you.

There are four campaigns being run by DCU Fine Gael, DCU Labour, DCU Socialist Party and DCU Fianna Fail. The students union will also be running an information campaign.

The SU have made a document explaining each of the models which can be found here.

It's your union, so they speak for you! Tell them what you what funding model you want them to lobby for!

Ye it wasn't run properly so the outcome was annulled. I expect turnout to be shockingly low as always and for the option of completely free education to win as last time.

As expected the turnout was shocking and option 5 i.e completely free system won.
