For voters

The elections are not possible without ISYY members showing their interest in the elections and turning up to vote. Therefore, remember to take advantage of your right to vote and make sure your favourite candidate gets elected. Read on to find out how.

Reasons to vote in the Representative Council Elections

The Representative Council elections are the most important elections of your time as a student. You get to choose the people who make decisions concerning the Student Union (ISYY) and the services that are offered to you as a member. For instance, the Representative Council determines the strategy of ISYY and the amount of the membership fee, and cooperates with the decision-making bodies of UEF.

If your own well-being and interests are important to you, choose the candidate who best represents your views and vote, because nobody else will do it for you!

How to vote and when?

You can vote during the advance voting period and on the election day. Details will be updated later.

Where can I find the candidates?

You can see the Candidate Lists on the ISYY website and on bulletin boards on campus during the elections.

A Candidate Gallery will be also available in. You can find all the candidates and their candidate numbers from the website. If the Candidate has chosen to add their picture and introduction text to the Candidate gallery you can also find them there.

If you do not know who to vote for, you can find your favourite candidate with the help of a Voting Aid.
