Election lists

You can view the full election lists in the voting portal. You will automatically be shown the candidate lists relevant to you.

Good to know: there is a choice to be made if there are more candidates than the number of available seats. Are there fewer candidates, or exactly enough? Then there is no need to vote for that council. It is therefore possible that you will not see all councils listed in the voting portal.

How can I vote?

You can vote online via the voting portal. Voting takes no more than 2 minutes. This way, you contribute to the future of our university! Making your voice heard is important for yourself and your fellow students.  

Vote here (from 18 May)
