The election will not be conducted by one of the currently occupied student bodies, i.e. neither by the StuPa nor by the AStA nor by the student representatives.

There needs to be an Election Committee (WA), which must be staffed by five to seven students, and an Election Review Committee (WPA), which must be staffed by three to five students. Otherwise, no elections can take place. Both electoral bodies are elected by the StuPa.

However, in order to be able to guarantee the elections, we ask you for your candidacies for the WA or WPA. It is only possible to be represented in one of the two bodies. Furthermore, members of the WA and the WPA are not allowed to stand as candidates in one of the elections (StuPa, FSV'). An expense allowance for loss of time is granted for voluntary work in the WA and WPA.

The task of the WA is much more extensive than that of the WPA. While the WA prepares and conducts the elections completely, including all the necessary steps, the WPA checks the work of the WA and must decide at the end whether everything went according to the rules and the elections are therefore valid. This check must be carried out by the WPA independently. For this purpose, it is not absolutely necessary to supervise the election committee during the entire period of activity, but it is not wrong either. Likewise, the WPA must fully consider any objections to the election in its examination and decide on them accordingly.

The election for the WA is planned for next StuPa meeting. The next regular meeting will be on 24 May 2023 at 4pm, if necessary, an extraordinary meeting can be held beforehand (the StuPa presidium decides on the necessity and scheduling). If there are already candidates for the WPA by then, the election of the WPA will also take place. It is not a compulsory requirement to attend the meeting, but it is regularly welcomed, because the parliamentarians would like to get at least a picture of the candidates before they elect them. In any case, there is also the possibility of online participation, as all StuPa meetings are at least hybrid.

Election to one of the electoral bodies is a very responsible activity that requires reliability and conscientiousness. A great deal is clearly regulated in the electoral regulations; there is often no or only very limited room for manoeuvre. The deadlines specified in the electoral regulations must be observed exactly. Very good knowledge of German is strongly recommended!

Without enough students in the WA and the WPA, the election cannot be held and must be postponed. The election deadline must be during the lecture period.
