What does the Council do?

Tehy members elected to the Council work to ensure that your daily life runs smoothly and you can focus on your work. The Council is in charge of advocating for Tehy members, approving collective agreements, making decisions on e.g. industrial action and deciding about union activity policies and statements on matters concerning the sector. It also elects the Tehy president.

To prospective candicates

All eligible members of Tehy professional branches and Tehy student associations may stand as candidates in the Tehy Council elections. Candidates are nominated between 4 and 24 February 2025.

You are eligible for election if:

• you do not have any unpaid membership fees for 2024, and
• a Tehy professional branch or Tehy student association has approved your membership by 31 January 2025. 

If you are unsure of your eligibility, you may check your membership status in the Tehy e-services. 

You can get sign up as a candidate in the Tehy Council election by filling in the candidate document, which will be made available in the Tehy e-services on Tuesday 4 February at 9:00. Sign in the to the e-services, open the menu (three bars in the upper right-hand corner) and select “Candidate Document”. Fill in the candidate document by Monday 24 February.

You can also run as a candidate independently but, in practice, it is far more likely you will become elected if you run as a member of a Tehy council group. The contact details of council groups can be found on this website. Your professional branch will also provide more information about running.
