TFL Vsebine / Pravni letopis

Na volitvah izbiramo svoje predstavnike, ki s svojimi odločitvami pomembno vplivajo na naše življenje in oblikujejo našo prihodnost. Na naše življenje pa ne vplivajo samo volitve na državni in lokalni ravni, temveč tudi tiste na ravni univerze in fakultet, med katere spadajo tudi volitve v Študentski svet Pravne fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani. Tudi na takšnih volitvah mora biti zagotovljeno uresničevanje tako aktivne kot pasivne volilne pravice ter zagotovljeni ustrezni mehanizmi pravnega varstva. Seveda pa si želimo, da so tudi volitve v Študentski svet dostopne in kompetitivne ter da je volilna udeležba čim večja. Ta prispevek analizira nekatere problematike uresničevanja aktivne in pasivne volilne pravice, podaja predloge za izboljšanje ter analizira razloge, ki vplivajo na volilno udeležbo.

Elections enable us to choose our representatives, whose decisions have a significant impact on our lives and shape our future. Our lives are affected not only by elections at the state and local level, but also by elections at the university and faculty level. The latter also include elections to the student council of the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana. Even in such elections, the exercise of both the right to vote as well as right to stand for elections must be safeguarded. Furthermore, appropriate mechanisms of legal protection must be ensured. Apart from that, the elections to the student council ought to be accessible, competitive, and with a high voter turnout. This paper analyses certain issues in connection with exercising the right to vote and the right to stand for elections, provides suggestions for improvement, and analyses the reasons which influence voting participation.
