ÖH ELECTION - May 13th to 15th, 2025

In 2025, the election of the statutory student representatives at the federal, university, and study program representative levels will take place from May 13th to 15th, 2025.

Further information, such as the location and opening hours of the polling stations, will be continuously updated on this website.

Brief explanation of the ÖH elections:

The ÖH elections take place in Austria every two years. All students - including those who are on a semester abroad at an Austrian university are also entitled to vote.

For the ÖH elections you do not need to be an Austrian citizen – every student who paid his Austrian Student Union fee (ÖH fee) in time has the right to vote in the ÖH elections!

Here, you elect who will represent you during your studies for the next two years. You get to vote on three levels:

 

1) Federal Representation:

Here, you vote for the level of representation that represents you nationwide in Austria. The federal representation ensures that new laws and political measures are student-friendly and offers a range of social services and support. Here you can vote for one list or party of your choice.


2) University Representation:

Your university representation works at your institution – in this case, at the University of Technology Graz. Their focus is on representing students to the rectorate and faculty. The university representative also handles your concerns on-site and offers various services and support to make your student life easier. Here you can vote for one list or party of your choice.


3) Study Program Representatives:

Your study program representatives are directly responsible for your specific field of study. They assist with questions about individual subjects, act as intermediaries between professors and students, and are your direct contacts for academic matters. A big difference to the level of federal representation and university representation is, that  here you vote directly for a candidate of your choice – not a list of people or a party.

 

Representation is most effective when as many students as possible get involved! Your vote backs up the ÖH, the HTU and the study program representatives in representing your interests inside and outside the university!
