Representatives for 2020 chosen
The highest authority of Student Union JAMKO has been chosen in Representatives’ election 2019. Voting turnout of this year’s election was 14 percent. 3926 students were entitled to vote from which 562 students voted. The voting turnout last year was 20 percent. Majority of the Finnish Student Union’s have the same election date Nov 11th.
“ The decreasing numbers of voting turnout and candidates indicate a great demand to clarify the role and the work of the Representatives in the JAMK UAS. The new council must take responsibility for this and must initiate the work at the beginning of their term”, says Teemu Oja-Lipasti, the chairperson of the central election committee.
21 actual members were chosen from 35 candidates. The amount of seats of each alliance is listed below (actual member + vice member). The alliances own voting turnout from the whole percentage is presented after the seats.
