Results for the 2025 Student Union Council Election – the person to get most personal votes was Emilia Melén (DRV)

The Election Committee has confirmed the results of the 2025 Student Union Council Elections, which took place on 3–6 November. A total of 1033 votes were cast, and despite a record number of candidates, voter turnout was lower than in the previous election in 2023.

At its meeting on 6 November, the Student Union Council Election Committee confirmed the results of the 2025 Student Union Council Election, and drew lots for the candidates who received equal comparison figures. In the 2025 Council Election, 1033 votes were cast, which means that 18,56% of all eligible student union members voted. The voter turnout fell from the previous Council Election in 2023, when the turnout was 23,07%. 

“It’s great to see students getting involved in the Student Union Council Elections, even though voter turnout has gone down. All the Electoral Associations got at least one seat, so the Council will have broad representation. I want to thank everyone who voted and, above all, everyone who stood as a candidate”, says Amanda Byskata, Chair of the Election Committee. 

FNT-listan received the most votes and seven seats in the Council

A total of 107 candidates from eight Electoral Associations ran in the Student Union Council Elections. The new Council consists of 25 Members of the Council and their Deputies. Their term of office is from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2027. The new Council will hold its inaugural meeting on 27 November, when it will elect, among other things, the Student Union’s Executive Board for 2026.  

FNT-listan list received the most votes (26.7%) and won seven seats in the new Student Union Council. The second most votes went to Gemensamma Vasa (19.9%), followed by MK-listan (18.0%) in third place – both groups won five seats in the Council. Emilia Melén (De Rättvisa) got the most, 41, personal votes in the election.

“I am grateful for the trust placed in me and for being able to continue working for students and the Student Union. Our Electoral Association De Rättvisa did a fantastic job, and I am delighted to have been able to stand for DRV! Becoming a Member of the Council means a great deal to me, and I will do my very best to represent my fellow students.” says Emilia Melén (DRV), the vote magnet in the Student Union Council Elections.
