Your vote counts! Shape the future of university politics and vote now for your representatives in the Student Parliament, Faculty Councils, and Senate.
Follow us on Instagram or our WhatsApp channel for all the important updates. We’ve also prepared two Reels there to explain the elections once again.
In the student body election, representatives for the Student Parliament (StuPa) are elected. Various “Listen” (candidate lists) run in the election; these are groups of students who pursue common university-political interests. Their election platforms are published beforehand in an election magazine.
International students can also elect representatives for the Autonomous Foreigner’s Department (AAR), who are also introduced in the election magazine.
You vote directly for a member from a list. Often, the individual members introduce themselves in the election magazine. The seats in the StuPa are allocated to the lists based on the total number of votes received. These seats are then distributed within each list according to the number of votes cast for the individual candidates. People who do not receive any votes will not enter the StuPa.
In the university election, you can vote for student representatives for the Senate and for the Department Councils. Selected list members also run for the Senate election. In the faculty elections, it is usually representatives from the respective Departmental Student Council (FsR) who stand for election.

Raving against the far right! ✊ Together with the alliance BlockaDo, we are protesting against the monthly “Heimatabende” organized by the neo-Nazi scene in Dorstfeld — with music, dancing, and good vibes.
For some time now, regular meetings of far-right groups have been taking place again in Dorstfeld. Among other things, these events aim to recruit new supporters and spread far-right ideology. Together with the activists from BlockaDo, we want to take a stand against this and are organizing a day rave at Wilhelmsplatz in Dortmund-Dorstfeld.
