Representative Council
The Representative Council exercises the highest authority at the Student Union. The Council is elected for a two-year term, and all AYY members are eligible to vote and stand as candidate in the elections held every other year. The Council consists of 45 representatives, who must all be members of AYY. The next elections will be held in autumn 2023.
Among other things, the Council decides upon AYY’s budget, financial statement, loans, construction decisions and rules. It also appoints the Student Union Board, the Chairs of the Board and the highest officials.
Meetings of the Representative Council, which take place approximately once a month, are open to all AYY members. Meetings are live-streamed and simultaneously interpreted from Finnish into English. You can follow them live at ayy.fi/live. The meetings’ agendas and minutes can be found on AYY Inside.
