Apply for AYY’s Parliamentary Election Team!
Parliamentary elections are approaching, are you ready? In April next year, we will vote on the future direction of students for the next four years. Would you like to organise campaigns for next spring, where we challenge future decision-makers, bring the elections closer to students and make the voice of Aalto students heard?
The aim of the team is to plan and organise fascinating election-related campaigns, such as election panels and easily accessible events with a touch of Aalto spirit. Would you like to arrange a cricket contest with parliamentary election candidates while discussing students' rights or to host an election panel where candidates can reveal their best memories from student years?
In the team, you can create and execute the most interesting events of the election spring with the support and training of AYY staff. You don’t need previous experience in event planning, advocacy or politics. At the beginning of the year, the members of the team will receive a comprehensive introduction to the upcoming election spring. Working in the team will provide a good starting point for advocacy work and the understanding of political practices.
The team will meet in January, but you are also welcome to join the activities throughout the spring.

Good news for residents in shared apartments: Here’s how you can receive your own housing allowance while living in a friends’ apartment!
A joint liability rental agreement may affect the housing allowance, as Kela typically grants only one housing allowance for a shared household, which is influenced by the income of both residents. However, residents in friends’ apartments may receive separate housing allowances if Kela reviews them as separate households. This requires tenants with a joint liability rental agreement to draft a mutual possession agreement for the apartment and submit it as an appendix with their housing allowance application to Kela. Tenants draft the possession agreement by themselves.
