List system
At uu77, we work with a list system. This means that you stand for election by submitting a candidate list. You can do this individually or jointly with other candidates, for example because you share the same ideas. You fill in the list when you apply online. You do not have to submit a separate file.
A list has a number of requirements:
- A list must have a name. If you are on a list together with other candidates, you have to fill in the same list name on the form.
- A list contains a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 15 candidates.
- Candidates are on a list in a certain order. Each candidate has his own list position, indicated by a number. This order is important and can affect the distribution of seats. On the form, you must indicate your position on the list.
