Aalto-yliopiston ylioppilaskunnan vuoden 2019 edustajistovaalit järjestettiin 28.10.-5.11. Vaaleilla valittiin 45-henkinen edustajisto, joka käyttää ylioppilaskunnassa ylintä päätösvaltaa. Edustajistovaalien voittajiin kuuluu Vihreämpi Aalto -ryhmä, joka kolminkertaisti paikkamääränsä edellisiin vaaleihin nähden. Myös Pro Arte ja Kylterirengas nostivat kummatkin paikkamääräänsä yhdellä.
