Representatives election
Representatives elections of 2022 are over
Next elections are held during Autumn 2023. Come and join the Central election committee, that organizes the election.
Representatives Elections 2022
JAMKO’s highest decision-making authority, the Representatives Council, is elected annually by voting at the beginning of November. As a member of JAMKO, you can vote and decide who will handle your affairs as a student representative at Jamk UAS. The Representative Council decides e.g. about membership fee, the budget, approves the action plan and JAMKO’s big guidelines, on which we, as a student union, take a stand and how we operate.
This year, the theme of the elections is “Your, mine, our JAMKO”, with which we encourage students to make the work of the student union look like students.

Electoral alliances, rings and the role of a spokesperson
Electoral alliance is a group formed by one or more eligible candidates and the votes cast on the electoral alliance will be counted in favour of the candidates. Often the members of the alliance study in the same degree programme or share similar views related to student politics.
The founder of the alliance acts as its spokesperson, but he/she does not have to be a candidate in the election himself or be a member of JAMKO. The spokes person provides the association’s founding document, acts as a liaison between the Central Election Committee and the candidates, provides information to the candidates and acts as a support during the election. The Central Election Committee supports the election liaison officers in their duties.
In order to form an alliance, the spokesperson fills the declaring document and files it, prefetably at the beginning of the candidacy filing period or by the end of candidate filing period Sept 21st 3 p.m. at the latest. The maximum amount of the candidates in one ring should be the amount of free seats in the representatives (42).
Electoral ring is two or more electoral alliances or one or more alliances and a one or more candidates who are outside of all electoral alliances. In order to form an electoral ring, a declaring document must be done and submitted to JAMKO before the end of candidacy filing period. The maximum amount of the candidates in one ring should be the amount of free seats in the representatives (42).
All the requisite forms are found at the end of this page at the start the formation period.
Electoral alliances can be formally formed 2 days before the start of the candidacy filing period, but it is a good idea to start compiling the list well in advance. It is advisable to announce the list as soon as the period begins, because then the information in the list can be made public.
The coalitions and the spokesperson’s information are added to this site as the as the declaring documents are filed.
