37 members and their vice members were elected for the term 2024-2025. The largest amount of votes was collected by the Election circle of Technology and Economy Students, who maintained their eleven seats. Close second was the Interdisciplinary Electoral circle, who added one seat to their previous result and rounded it up to ten.
Iida Vahtola of the Electoral alliance of the Left Students collected the most votes in the elections, 179 votes. ”Of course it feels good, I’m really happy by the trust I’ve received”, commented Vahtola.
The elections were completely electronic for the first time, as the enrollment for candidates was with an electronic form for the first time. The voting has been electronic for several elections.
The Chair of the Central electoral committee Tittu-Lotta Paju is satisfied with the technical success of the elections. ”The organisation of the elections went well, the enrollment of candidates and voting went smoothly and you can be satisfied with the voting system.”
