Voting is now open and all members should have their voting packs by now. Remember you need to vote for your preferred candidates by returning your postal vote to arrive by Monday 1 July.
Our council is elected by a postal ballot of all members held under the Single Transferable Vote system (STV).
The CSP Council elections are administered by Civica Election Services Limited. They act as independent scrutineers of the nomination and ballot process as required for Trade Union ballots, which is set out in the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (TULRCA).
Nominations
The nominations process is now closed. Candidates will now be canvassing for support from among the membership.
All candidates nominations have been verified and each candidate has provided 6 or more CSP member proposers supporting their council nomination.
Their candidate statements – to demonstrate why they have the attributes and abilities to work on behalf of the profession as a CSP Council member – are published on the Civica Election Services Limited website and have been posted to the whole membership to inform their vote.
