The Democracy Committee is at the heart of everything we do at LSESU to make student voices heard. As part of the Democracy Committee, you would be a key figure in ensuring that the SU’s democratic structures always remain open and accessible to LSE students, facilitating change in a fair but radical fashion!
What would I be responsible for?
- Ensure that LSESU functions in a democratic way
-
Facilitate and lead Student Town Halls and Student Panels
-
Analyse and assess the democratic foundations of any Policy Proposals put forward by other students
-
Oversee election complaints and rulings
-
Decide the dates, rules, and regulation for all elections and referenda
-
Assist with promoting elections, Student Panels and Town Hall
Each Democracy Committee member will be paid an honorarium of £700 for their work in the 2023/24 academic year. You cannot hold another position elected via the LSESU Elections whilst acting as a member of Democracy Committee. However, you can hold a position elected via a society election.
