Duke’s Election 

In line with the General Election this week our students took to the polls for their own exercise in democracy. We held a student election at Duke’s ably organised by Ms Tuptuk and the humanities department.

Students submitted manifestos and campaigned amongst the student body with five candidates standing on their own policies in our mock election. 

On Thursday 4th July – the same day as the UK General Election our students were able to cast their votes at the ballot boxes in the Purple Diner and gain a real insight into the process of democracy – a real world example of British Values at work!
