OUSA Referendum – Have Your Say!

What is the OUSA Referendum?
The OUSA Referendum is your chance to directly influence the decisions and direction of your Students' Association. It’s like a big student vote where you get to say “yes”, “no”, or “abstain” on important questions that affect you, your student experience, and how OUSA represents you.

How does it work?

• Students can submit questions they want the entire student body to vote on.
• These questions might be about OUSA policies, priorities, or new ideas for events, services, or campaigns.
• Once submissions close, the final list of questions will go out for student voting.

Why should you get involved?

• It’s your opportunity to shape what OUSA does.
• If you have an issue you care about, you can propose a question and spark change.
• Every vote counts — your voice helps guide the future of your student community!

Important Dates:

• Submit your questions by: 2nd of May (email them to adminvp@ousa.org.nz)
• Voting opens: 26th to 28th of May
