Furthermore, they choose which candidates will be seated in the board and election committee. The council has seats for 20 commissioners, i.e. five students from each academy where one takes the role as president. The council meets 3-4 times a year. The meetings are evenly distributed between Eskilstuna and Västerås. The commissioners in the council are chosen during the election held in April every year. To apply for the council, you need to be a member of the student union.

All members can send in proposals to the council. These need to be sent to the council’s president at least 21 days before the next meeting. All members are allowed to attend the meetings.
