The LSU Executive (frequently known as 'The Exec') are the leading representative body of the Students' Union. They are composed of twelve sabbatical officers. Since 2019, it has consisted of five Executive Officers and seven Section Chairs, who each lead a specific student section of LSU. 'Exec Elections' occur each year in February and March, whereby a new Executive Team is voted in by the students. Candidates release manifestos, get interviewed in 'The Soapbox' and promote themselves across campus and on social media in hope of being elected.
