In addition to the university elections, a ballot was held on the type of membership of students at the University of Kassel in the "freier zusammenschluss von student*innenschaften e.V." (fzs). The fzs is a non-partisan umbrella organization of student councils in Germany. The student body of the University of Kassel is currently a supporting member of the association without voting rights. Full membership, on the other hand, includes voting rights for the student representatives of our university. However, due to the votes received, the ballot has been declared invalid.
