How do you say "representative" as in Student Council Representative I"m trying to figure out the best way to translate "representative" as in a "representative in government". In Taiwan people say 班代, but that doesn't seem like it would translate into other student council's where you aren'ts necessarily voted as a class representative, but rather as a rep as a whole. 

Thanks!
In general,"representative " rather as a rep,but he(or she)is recommended(or be voted) by the people(as you say,by the members of the council). However,sometimes,if the student council is from an organization ,like 'student union','representative 'is the leader or  he is in charge of the organization .
