The 2018 elections have begun!
The 2018 elections have officially begun, and the election circular and schedule have been posted at the election website. This year the students will vote for all the collegial bodies.
The 2018 elections at AU are approaching, including the deadline for nominating candidates for election to the Aarhus University Board, academic councils, boards of studies and PhD committees. It is important that enough candidates and substitutes are nominated to fill all seats on all collegial bodies.
This year students will be voting for all these bodies.
In previous elections, a number of academic councils and boards of studies have been without student representatives because no one stood for election. There are many possible reasons for this lack of representation, but in the experience of the Election Secretariat, one contributing factor is the fact that students submit their lists of candidates too late for any errors in them to be corrected, which means that it has often been necessary to declare the lists invalid.
All eligible voters will receive an email with information about the election, including guidelines for nominating candidates. The Election Secretariat encourages directors of study and student counsellors to draw students' attention to the election and to the option of submitting lists of candidates well in advance of the deadline, in order to avoid the lack of student representation.
