Council elections do not happen out of thin air. The Election Committee is responsible for ensuring that the elections run smoothly. In the run-up to the 2026 elections, the committee has been discussing issues such as the election compass and electronic voting. What goes on behind the scenes before members get to vote?

For the first time, TEK’s General Council elections will be completely electronic. For each cast vote, we donate three euros to charity – that’s two good deeds per voter!

At TEK, the members are represented by the General Council, comprising 70 members chosen by election every three years. The next elections will take place in March 2026, and the nomination process is on until 9th February. Here are some answers to commonly asked questions – read them and join the process!

Student representatives or “hallopeds” have been selected for 2026. They ensure that students’ voices are heard in TEK’s decision-making. See which bodies students are part of and who represents you this year!

We asked the chairpersons of the current council groups what they have achieved during the ongoing council term, how their group stands out from others, and how TEK should be improved in the future.

Join us in building TEK to reflect its members, expand your social networks, and follow developments in the labour market from a vantage point. Run for election or vote in the TEK elections!
