Members elect the representatives
The representatives are elected by the members of the union. A union member with the right to vote and eligible for election can be elected to the representative body and the board of directors in the representative body elections. Entitled to vote and eligible for election are members in working life or available on the labor market.
The representative board must have members from each sector of the union, so that the sector's representation is in proportion to its number of members. The majority vote ensures that the representative council has employees from all over Finland.
Candidates for the election can be nominated by the union's member associations and independent voter associations. A voter association can be formed by at least twenty voting members of the same sector.
The principles of organizing representative elections are defined in the association's rules. More detailed regulations are given in the voting and election order approved by the Council of Representatives.
