TEK provides support and services to communities established by its members.

The final meeting of the term of TEK’s current Council was held in Tripla 23–24 March 2023.

A total of 11,652 electronic votes were cast in TEK’s General Council election. For each electronic vote, TEK promised to donate 3 euros to an environmental cause, and electronic voters also got to choose the cause they wanted to support. The most votes were given to a donation for the Baltic Sea through John Nurminen Foundation.

The 70 seats on the TEK General Council have been filled at the election. Politically aligned electoral alliances won extra seats. More members than before voted electronically, and the charity campaign raised almost €35,000.

The total number of members of Akava affiliates at the start of 2023 was 616,000, which is an increase of 1,200 members from the previous year.

TEK has 18 parliamentary election goals. Not all goals will be met this time either.
