Xamk promotes and encourages active citizenship and participation. Xamk has established ground rules concerning elections to facilitate the work of both candidates and staff during election season.
HUSTINGS AND EVENTS
EXPERT LECTURES
Leaderships of parties and constituency associations as well as ministers may organise virtual/online expert lectures, which are open for all Xamk employees. The organisers of the lectures are responsible for the practical arrangements. Xamk’s systems are not used to hold these lectures.
- Tiivi Pukkila-Nupponen, Head of Communication and Marketing Services, is to be notified of online expert lectures.
EVENTS
Candidates/parties/constituency associations can reserve Xamk’s facilities (excluding Xamk’s restaurant and lobby facilities) for their hustings events according to the normal venue hiring instructions and rates.
ELECTION-RELATED COMMUNICATION
Xamk’s internal communication tools may be used to communicate information about the following:
- election-related advance voting on campuses
- election guidelines (also communicated to external stakeholders)
- hustings events where representatives from different parties and constituency associations have an opportunity to be featured equally (e.g. Kaakko’s election panels)
- online expert lectures organised by leaderships of parties and constituency associations and ministers
Xamk’s communication channels are not used to announce other hustings events organised by candidates/parties/constituency associations.
Xamk’s Communication and Marketing Services are responsible for centralised election-related communication.
Election posters may not be distributed/delivered/posted to post office boxes, staff email, Teams, or intranet discussions etc. or on walls. Xamk’s email lists, internal mail, and communication channels may not be used for political activities outside of elections either.
Candidates may appear in Xamk’s media, e.g. Xamk’s website or social media channels, only in connection with their working duties.
Candidates are allowed to shoot their campaign videos or advertisements on campuses, since campuses are public spaces. However, other campus users must be taken into consideration when doing this. Asking for permission from people who might be visible in your video or picture is good practice, and no one should be filmed against their will.
