REGIONAL SUBCOMMITTEE LEADS – ELECTIONS
As you will be aware, we are currently holding elections for Regional Subcommittee Leads. Nominations have now closed and branches will be contacted shortly by your regional official to confirm the nominations for the available positions.
You will note that in LTB 259/25 the timetable stated that ballot papers would be dispatched on the 5th of January. Due to unavoidable circumstances, ballot papers will now be dispatched by Monday 19th of January. We have subsequently amended the timetable as follows:
Ballot papers dispatched: Monday 19th of January
Ballots close: Monday 2nd of February
Results announced: Tuesday 3rd of February
Please note that not all positions have received multiple nominations, so there will not be an election required for every position. Your regional official will inform you shortly of the status of these positions.
As before, where ballots are required, they will be conducted via branch ballot. Branches will be allocated a voting strength based on their membership size (excluding retired members) at the time of the ballot for all Regional Sub Committee Lead positions excluding the Retired Members Leads. However, the branch voting strengths for the Regional Sub-Committee Retired Members Lead will be inclusive of retired members in the branch.
Where ballots are required, copies of the candidate’s biographical details will accompany the branch ballot paper. The branch ballot paper will also list the branch’s voting strength.
Branches should return the ballot papers by 5pm on Monday 2nd of February to their regional official, via email. If you have any questions, please email aobrien@cwu.org.
Yours sincerely
Dave Ward
General Secretary
CWU Eastern No5 Branch
