ISYY's Representative Council elections take place this autumn for the ninth time

The elections for the Student Union of the University of Eastern Finland’s (ISYY) Representative Council will be held as electronic elections in autumn of 2025. Advance voting takes place on 27.–31.10.2025 and the actual voting day is 6.11.2025.

The elected Representative Council, which consists of 39 members, forms the highest decision-making body of the Student Union. The elections take place every other year and all ISYY members, which include for example degree students studying at UEF, can become candidates. The Representative Council guides the Student Union’s operations by deciding, for instance, the amount of the membership fee, action plan for each year, finances and direction of the Student Union’s future. Every year, the Representative Council appoints the Representative Council Chairpersons as well as the Executive Board.

You can join as a candidate on a candidate list established by you or by some other student. More detailed instructions on how to become a candidate and the schedule of the elections are published later in the Election announcement.

Take a chance and become a candidate. By taking part in the Representative Council elections, you can influence the most important matters of your student life and participate in decision-making.

More information about the elections will be available on ISYY’s website later.
