Election
Floor Speakers are elected at a floor meeting.
All regular floor residents may vote (including exchange students, but not subtenants and short-term tenants), but only those who are of legal age may stand for election (see: passive voting rights according to the statutes).
After a successful election, and additionally at the beginning of each half year (January and July), a notification must be submitted to the Control Council (KR). The term of office only begins with this notification. Failure to notify may result in non-remuneration, as only those floor speakers whose term of office is more than half of the half-year are remunerated. Registration after the fact (retrospective) is not possible.
Checklist for remuneration:
- Office is registered with the control council (term of office >50% of the half-year)
- Attendance at more than half of all house parliament sessions during the term of office (or a representative was sent)
- Depending on the house (K1, K2, K5): no outstanding cake debts
The remuneration of 1 WZP is made by the control council approx. 1-1.5 months after the end of the half-year, provided that all the above points apply. Points as well as office terms can be viewed in HEIDI.
If any questions arise, please don't hesitate to reach out to your control council or your house speaker.
