What are student elections?
Student elections are a formal process through which students directly elect their representatives to student parliaments. The elected representatives take part in the work of the faculty and university bodies, make decisions on the allocation of funds and represent the interests of students before the administration.
Voting in student elections is one of the few formal mechanisms through which students directly influence the management of the faculty and university.
Two types of elections
There are two types of student elections at ETF — for the faculty and for the university parliament.

Election Commission
By the decision of June 30, 2026, the Election Commission for conducting the elections consists of:
- Anđela Ninković – representative of the Student Parliament
- Dušan Kaluđerović – representative of the Student Parliament
- Lazar Vujčić – student vice dean
Note: Commission members cannot be candidates on electoral lists.
Who can be nominated?
Students proposed by the following have the right to be nominated:
- a registered student organization, or
- an informal group of students with the written support of at least 10% of the Faculty's students
20 members of the Student Parliament are elected by direct and secret ballot.
How do you vote?
Voting is secret. On the ballot paper, you circle the number in front of the name of the electoral list you want to vote for, after which the ballot is placed in the ballot box. The process takes only a few minutes.
The regulations provide that independent observers (at most two) may also attend the elections, and their request is submitted to the Election Commission at the addresses [email protected] and [email protected].
Why should I vote?
Students decide who will represent them. Your vote directly affects the composition of the parliament.
Representatives take part in the work of important bodies that make decisions about studies and student life.
Parliament decisions affect student rights, welfare and the quality of teaching.
Low turnout means a smaller number of students influences the outcome. Every vote matters.
