Elections 2026

Pascal Wissel

Hey there, FIN students, As every year, student elections are taking place at our university. This year, we have a whole host of wonderful people who want to stand as candidates for the FIN in various councils and lists. But they all have one thing in common: they all fight for your rights as students of the faculty or the university. (And organise events for you ^^) For the Faculty Student Council and the Faculty Council, you can vote under the list FARAFIN2026. But where do you actually vote? You can do this very easily in the LSF under the "Online Elections" tab. We’d be delighted to have your vote.
