Election campaign at the university: everything about the candidacy and deadlines!

On Tuesday, March 25, 2025, the incorporation period for election proposals and candidacies for the upcoming elections of the Austrian University of Applied Sciences (ÖH) starts. As reported by Kleinezeitung.at , new, election-proof groups for the federal and university representation of a total of 200 signatures from at least seven different universities must collect. Depending on the university size, the need for individual university representatives ranges from ten to 200 signatures. Established factions only require the signature of a mandatar and a deliverer to legitimize their inauguration.

From April 3, election cards can be requested for postal voting, and this can only be made by May 6th, but only for the elections to the federal representation and the university representatives. The deadline for improving election proposals ends at the latest on April 15, whereby there is already the possibility on April 8th to have a fixed ballot if there are no defects. href = "https://www.oehweb.at/oeh-wahlen-2025/"> oehweb.at Valuable information: A candidacy is only possible for members of an election group. The prerequisite for this is that the application must be received in the legal department of the university by April 17, 2025.

Timely payment is recommended to ensure that all the necessary evidence can be submitted in good time.
