This year saw record voter numbers for a ULSU election with a 32.75% (4664) turnout \u2013 the highest SU election turnout in the country.<\/p>\n

The election took a controversial turn late yesterday evening when it was announced that Lorna Horgan would not be disqualified from the race<\/a> after breaking official election rules.<\/p>\n

ULSU Democracy and Development Manager Liz Gabbett, who announced the official results last night at the Stables Club, said: \u201cI want to thank all of the candidates and campaign teams for running an amazing election campaign this week \u2013 it was like no other I’ve experienced before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking to ULFM today, newly-elected Welfare Officer Roberta Harrington said: \u201cGetting the three in was obviously the dream but we didn\u2019t think it was going to be done.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter who gets in there\u2019s going to be negativity, there\u2019s always going to be someone out to get you.\u201d<\/p>\n
