Between April 13 and 16, you will elect the new members of the University Student Council (USR) and Faculty Student Councils (FSR) for academic year 2026/2027.
As a VU student, you have a say in who represents you. By voting, you decide who will represent your interests in the coming year.
You have two votes:
- one for the USR
- one for your own faculty (FSR) (Note: Elections do not take place at all faculties, as the number of candidates is equal to or lower than the number of seats at some faculties).
Why is your vote important?
Students have a say at both university and faculty level. That participation ranges from advisory to consent rights. This means that students actually help decide on policies within VU Amsterdam.
Through the student councils, your ideas and interests are represented. By voting, you choose the issues and candidates you find important.
Let your voice be heard
Do you want to influence your study and VU Amsterdam? Then cast your vote between 13 and 16 April. You will receive a voting link via e-mail.
