Would you like to run for one of the positions up for election? All you need to do is fill out this form. For student committees, the deadline is 25 April 2025. Forms can be submitted by dropping them into the designated mailbox at the StuRa office during opening hours or sent by post (or via the deadline mailbox in front of the Studierenden Service Zentrum — in that case, make sure to do so one day in advance!).

You can run for election in two ways:

  • As an individual candidate (Einzelwahlvorschlag): You run on your own, and only the votes cast directly for you count.
  • As part of a group nomination (Listenvorschlag): Everyone on the list collects votes together. The seats won by the list are then given to the candidates on that list who received the most votes.

[Please note: Multiple nominations on a single form don’t automatically create a group nomination. Clearly indicate if your form is for an individual or group nomination.]

Good to know: You can still be elected to the FSR or the RAS even if you didn’t submit a nomination form — as long as enough voters indicate your name on the ballot. This is known as the write-in option.

Important: Write-in entries are not allowed in university elections (e.g., Senate, Faculty Council). Any additional markings will invalidate your vote!

Please make sure your email address is updated in AlmaWeb to receive all updates about the elections, including notifications if you are moved to a substitute position.

It is also recommended (though not mandatory) to contact the student representative committee you wish to run for and attend at least one meeting beforehand.
