DUSU Elections 2025: How are student elections voting modernising this year?

This year's drive towards modernisation has brought with it a dual voting system, electronic voting machines (EVMs) for central panel votes and paper ballots for college-level voting, that's balanced between technology and convention. Added to this, increased security, rigorous surveillance, and controlled campaigning underscore the administration's concerted effort to make the electoral process transparent, secure, and free from malpractices.
