Check afterwards

Elected candidates
Associate professor Christoph Rausch, lecturer in business economics Agnes Taylor and higher vocational education lecturer Gerian Alofs occupy the three AOb-seats for the people who are still working. Tay comes with preferential votes in the Accountability Council, because she was number 4 on the list. In total, more than 12 ABP participants voted for a candidate from the AOb.
The pensioners will receive a total of one additional seat. This gives Arie de Graaf reinforcements in the Accountability Council, but the definitive name is still uncertain. More than 14 thousand people voted for the AOb.
