Shock Announces Candidates for Student Elections 2016.
Applications for the student elections drew to a close at noon on Friday 19th February 2016 with an amazing 36 students applying for the five roles up for grabs. As the official media representative, we were proud to exclusively announce the candidates on an hour long special election show.

Current President of Salford Students’ Union, Marina Hristova, joined us on the show.
She said:“I would just like to say I’m really excited to hear the list of names. I would like to wish them all good luck in this year’s elections.
Sabbatical officers work hard to ensure that the academic and social life of students is improved. This is a very interesting role but students are trusting you so all the people going for the role needs to bare this in mind.”
We wish all of the candidates the best of luck with their campaigns. Keep a watch out for Shock as we’ll be covering the latest news and events involved with the elections including Question Time on 3rd March and Results Night on 10th March.
