2025 University elections – every vote counts!
Use your vote to ensure the outcome isn’t left up to somebody else!
Cast your vote for the university elections from June 4 until June 12 – at your own convenience with a few clicks via the FAU elections portal at online-wahlen.fau.de/?lang=en.
We would like to stress the importance of all FAU members becoming involved in electing the members of the university steering committees, thereby ensuring that your voice is heard and your interests are taken into consideration as well as possible when shaping FAU. Use your vote to express your backing for the elected representatives.
The university elections will be held at FAU from 9 am on June 4 until 9 am on June 12. The elections will once more be held electronically.
Who can be elected?
This year, all member groups will elect their representatives to the Senate, the five Faculty Councils, and the Appointments Council for the School of Theology. Students are also able to vote on who is to represent them in the respective Student Committees and in the Student Council.
The elections for the doctoral candidates’ representatives at FAU will take place at the same time as the university elections. All doctoral candidates can vote for the speaker and a deputy speaker for their faculty.
The approved nominations for the university elections and the elections for the doctoral candidates’ representatives have already been announced and are available on the Elections Office’s website.
Electronic election
All members of staff, students and doctoral candidates entered in the electoral register at the time the electoral register was closed on May 7 are eligible to vote. Polling cards can be accessed in the FAU elections portal or have already been sent by post.
The electronic polling station can be accessed during the election period from 9 am on June 4 until 9 am on June 12.
Detailed information on how to cast your electronic vote is available on the website of the Elections Office and in the FAU election portal. All information and the electronic voting system are provided in both English and German.
How do I decide who to vote for?
The websites of the FAU Elections Office, the Students’ Representatives (stuve.fau.de/wahlen) and those of the Doctoral Candidates’ Council (blogs.fau.de/proko) give useful information about the candidates and groups standing for election as well as the members and tasks of the elected bodies.
What happens after the election?
After votes are counted, the results and the turnout for the individual committees are published on the Elections Office website. The term of office of the newly elected members begins on October 1.
