The list of all participants in the session as well as the the number of votes of the delegates is found here. Please note that the total number of votes will be counted every day. In the event of an election changing the vote distribution in between the Nordic council's September meeting, and the session, the board decides which vote distribution to use.

The number of votes varies among the delegates according to the UNR's statutes. In our statutes, the following is stated:

§ 13 Distribution of votes

At the session, each member organisation has one (1) vote.

In addition, members with a parent party in the Nordic Council have as many votes as the parent party has seats in the Nordic Council.

Votes cannot be distributed among more than one person. In order to use its votes, the organisation must be present at the session. Votes cannot be transferred by power of attorney to another organisation.

In order for the representative of a member organisation to have voting rights during the session, the person must present a power of attorney from their organisation signed in accordance with the organization's statutes.

Member organisations may send additional representatives to the session as observers, but these representatives do not have voting rights.

If the board or the session so decides, participation in the session is also possible by post or through data communication or other technical means before and during the meeting.
