In May of each year, Fu Jen regularly holds elections of student self-government organizations at all levels of the school (the president of the student union, members of the student council, representatives of all levels of university meetings, etc.) to implement student autonomy and democratic political education. Electronic voting was used for the first time in 2013 to enhance the convenience of student participation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://140.136.114.206/blog9/archives/005666.html|title=學生事務: 五月選舉月新制度 大家e起來投票|website=140.136.114.206|accessdate=2 May 2023}}</ref>
