Our nominations and ballot process is being handled by our independent scrutineer Civica.
The whole election process consists of three phases:
Phase 1 - Nomination
Closed 5pm December 27th
Phase 2 - Supporters NOW OPEN
December 31st until 5pm January 14th
From December 31st the details of all those who wish to stand as candidates will be made available to members as the supporters phase of the process opens.
To be successfully nominated for a role, a nominee will need to meet the supporter requirements listed on the role pages.
Supporters will be able to indicate support for a nominee via the portal once the supporter phase formally opens.
Eligible members will have until 5pm on January 14th to indicate support for any nominee.
About the roles
Phase 3 - Formal postal ballot
February 3rd until February 28th
Where a role is contested by more than one eligible candidate, this will trigger a formal postal ballot of eligible members under trade union legislation.
Full details of any contests will be announced following the closure of the Supporters process.
