The detailed results of our election can be found in the slide deck below. The RCA SU uses the single transferable vote system for our elections. This means that candidates are ranked in order of preference on ballots. The candidates then need to reach a quota to be elected. If no candidate reaches the quota (half the voters plus 1), the candidate with the least votes is eliminated and their votes redistributed. This process continues until one candidate is elected. A summary of the round by round voting appears below.

Note: If voters didn't list further preferences and their choice of candidate is eliminated then their ballot is not counted towards the quota in further rounds.
