“What’s that?” I hear you say. Well folks, this is the time of year again where you get to elect students who give a shit about making sure your life doesn’t suck and that you’re properly represented.
Sure, you might not care about student politics, but the student exec are constantly grinding, putting in hundreds of hours each week behind the scenes, and advocating for your needs. We’re the ones speaking up for you on high level University committees, being your voice at the local and national level, and sorting out all the annoying stuff that you don't even know is happening.
Still not convinced? Well, remember that whole lecture recording policy that will mean you don’t ever have to freak out about missing class because of work or illness because they’ll always be recorded? Yeah, that was us. Want more cool initiatives like that?
Take 45 seconds to vote at voting.ousa.org.nz, and vote for who will represent you the best for the next year. Or don’t vote and live with your poor choices, I’m not your mum.
Oh, and did I mention PRIZES!? Yeah, you can get free shit just for voting! Head to @ousaexec on Instagram to see what’s on offer. Because who says democracy can’t come with perks?
