SNH48 is a Chinese idol girl group formed in 2012. As of July 2, 2022[update], the group consists of 71 regular members, divided into several teams: Team SII with 19 members, Team NII with 17 members, Team HII with 17 members and Team X with 18 members. 3 members are classified as understudies. In addition, 1 member is listed as an overseas trainee. 73 members are currently listed as on temporary hiatus, although most of them have unofficially resigned.[1]
Members are recruited during auditions that are held roughly every half a year. Initially, they are announced as understudies before being promoted to their various teams, however, this practice was discontinued between 2016 and 2017 during the introduction of its sixth and seventh-generation members, and since 2019, after the second Team Shuffle. When they get older, they "graduate" from the group.
Following AKB48's format, SNH48 holds General Elections every year to determine the popularity of its members. To obtain a ballot, voters have to buy the group's latest "election single", or sign up on its official app. Members that receive higher votes get to be part of the group's next EP and are heavily promoted. The highest-ranked member will not only become the centre performer during the group's live performances, but would also get the opportunity to release a solo EP and music video, and hold a solo concert.
The results from SNH48's annual general elections from 2014 onwards are included. Dark grey cells indicate that the member did not take part in that election. Light grey cells marked "N/A" indicate the member took part in the election but did not rank.
Members are listed by order below as they appear on the official website's roster as of July 2, 2022[update].[1]
