Election results LEG Faculty Council 2024

At a public session of the Faculty Council Election Committee on Friday 17 May, the results of the Faculty Council elections at LEG were announced. Below is an overview of the composition of the staff and student sections of the new council.

Every year, the REBO Elections Committee organises elections to fill student seats on the Faculty Council and every two years for staff seats. In 2024, there were elections for the student section of the Faculty Council from 13 to 15 May.

Turnout this year was 12.7 per cent for the student section (763 out of a total of 6,197 students - including USE). Staff delegation elections take place every two years; there were no elections this year. The current members of the staff delegation were elected in 2023. There were no elections at the FSO and USE divisions (‘districts’) in 2023, as there were as many candidates there as seats available for the district. Turnout in 2023 was 34.9 per cent at the staff assembly (276 out of total 791 employees - including FSO and USE).
