Twenty-five students have put themselves forward as candidates for the upcoming University Council elections. This is thirteen less than last year, when there was a record number of registrations. Twelve seats in the council are available for students; the other twelve seats go to staff members. For this, twelve people registered. The deadline to register expired on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>

The campaign for the elections starts officially on Tuesday. Students and staff members can cast their vote between 10 May and 18 May. Students can vote for all student candidates, staff only for employees of their own faculty. Because some faculties have as many or less staff candidates as there are seats available, no elections need to be held for them. These employees are automatically elected. The results will be officially announced on 25 May.<\/p>\n\n\t
