Voting in the Representative Council election has begun!
Exciting news: voting in the Representative Council election has begun!
RepCo exercises the Student Union’s highest decision-making power. The Council consists of 45 student members and decides on the Student Union’s construction projects, policy paper, strategy and budget, among other things. In other words, these are mostly decisions that will determine how your membership fee is spent.
As a student union member, you have a valuable right to vote in the Representative Council elections and influence AYY’s most important decisions. You may vote online at vaalit.ayy.fi, starting now but no later than Wednesday 8 Nov at 3:00 pm (note the ending time already in the afternoon!).
Don’t know who to vote for? You can get to know the list of candidates and electoral alliances at ayy.fi/election. You can also hear about the candidates’ most important issues at the election panel on Thursday 2 Nov at 5 pm in OUBS studio and online.
You may also find a suitable candidate by filling in the candidate matcher at vaalikone.syl.fi/ayy.
Make your voice heard!
