TalTech Student Parliament Elections took place March 1-22, 2023. All TalTech students had the opportunity to apply from February 6 to 22. There were a total of 23 candidates across the five faculties: 6 in the School of Engineering, 5 in Estonian Maritime Academy, 4 in the School of Science, 4 in the School of IT and 4 in the School of Business and Governance.
There are 15 members in the Student Parliament, and the mandates were distributed among the faculties as follows: four mandates each for the School of Engineering and IT, three mandates for the School of Business and Governance, and two mandates each for the School of Science and the Estonian Maritime Academy.
One of the candidates from the School of IT, Karoliina Rebane, gave up her place in the Student Parliament because she was elected as a member of the board of the student body in the field of education. Since the number of candidates in the School of IT was equal to the number of mandates, the replacement mandate was distributed based on a general ranking covering all faculties, and it went to a candidate from the School of Science.
For the first time, the elections were held in the Student Portal. The elections were very successful in terms of voter turnout: this year’s voter turnout of 11% is the highest it's been for the last five years. This year's elections were remarkably successful for the Maritime Academy - they almost quadrupled last year's voter turnout. In addition to EMERA, the School of Engineering and the School of Business and Governance also had the highest voter turnout in the last five years.
The new membership was announced on March 29, at the Student Parliament’s thank-you event.
