Procedure
The election this year will be run by Electoral Reform Services (an offshoot of the Electoral Reform Society). They will issue documents by email to members in the near future. Voting will take place electronically. The small number of members for whom we do not have email addresses will be sent papers by post and will be able to vote either on line or by returning a traditional ballot form. ERS will ensure confidentiality of all data and of the votes.
Therefore you will shortly receive an e-mail from the ERS with details of the candidates and instructions for the voting procedure. The electorate will comprise members whose contact details are correct on the ICE database at 17:00 on Wednesday 20th April.
Please therefore:
- Check that your e-mail address is up to date on MyICE by that date
- Ensure e-mails from Electoral Reform Services – domain name electoralreform.co.uk are not automatically directed to your Spam Box.
The BGA Committee feels that the new voting procedure will be much easier to use, more secure and will lead to a much larger number of members exercising their democratic rights.
Note that the AGM papers will be sent directly from the BGA, by email or post.
