The turnout for the Senate vote was 12.3 percent; in the previous year it was 11.1 percent. Among the students it was 12.7 percent, while among the postgraduates it was 8.5 percent. Fifty-six new members were elected to the eleven faculty councils; three seats remain unfilled due to lack of suitable applications. Women make up 60 percent of all those elected.

The University elections took place at the same time as the Student Council elections and was held online this year for the third time in a row.
