Overview:

1st election info event Thursday, 8.12., 18:30

For questions about elections, we are holding a small info session as part of the committee training (Gremienschulung) – on Thursday, Dec. 8. at 18:30 in the Neuer Hörsaal Physik (directly near the StuRa-Büro). It’s all about elections – so especially members of polling place committees (Wahlraumausschüsse) are welcome there. But even if you are just interested in the work of the Election Committee (Wahlaussschuss) or the polling place committees (Wahlraumausschuss), it is worth a visit.

Prior to this event, starting at 17:00, the come-together of Fachschaften and Referate (StuRa-Officers)will take place at the StuRa-Büro with cookies and Glühwein, so just come a bit early, network, and round off your visit with info on elections.

3. notes on meetings and minutes (Sitzungen und Protokolle)

The Elections Committee and the Gremienteam (Office for Offices) have received a number of inquiries regarding the conduct of meetings, decision-making, and delegations to the StuRa. Here is some information about it.

A Fachschaftsrat (student council in a subject) meeting constitutes a quorum if it has been properly convened and half of the members are present. This is provided for in the StuRa’s rules of procedure (StuRa-Geschäftsordnung) , which, according to § 3 paragraph 5 of the organizational statutes (Organisationssatzung), also apply to the decision-making bodies of the Fachschaften, unless the quorum is explicitly regulated otherwise in the Fachschaft’s statutes (Fachschaftssatzung) or its own rules of procedure. Decisions are passed by a simple majority of those present. Some Fachschaften also provide for the decision to be deliberated twice in the case of large financial expenditures.

For the delegation of StuRa members (Entsendung), some Fachschaften also have their own regulations. Delegation means that the StuRa members can be determined in an open vote (with a show of hands). However, some Fachschaften explicitly provide for a secret ballot (election). In many Fachschaften, the Fachschaftsrat (FSR) must involve the Fachschaftsvollversammlung (FSVV); you can find out which ones at the end of the delegation form (Entsendungsformular).

You can find some structural data of Fachschaften in the constitution table (Konstitutionstabelle). You will also find information about special regulations for elections and the like. If you have any questions, please contact the Gremienreferat (Office for Offices).
