Society Elections
What are the Society Elections?
The society elections are your chance to have your say! Every year, members have the chance to elect their Board of Directors and Member Engagement Committee representatives. You can even stand for election yourself, if you’d like to.
Board & MEC Elections 2022
Voting is now open for our Elections 2022, where you can vote for your Board of Directors and Member Engagement Committee representatives. This is your chance to make a difference and have your say!
Please note, there are 5 vacancies on the Board and 4 on the MEC. We received one application for the Young Member position available on the Committee. As such, the candidate was automatically elected to this position. To find out more about the Young Co-operator Network see here.
Voting closes at 5pm on 3rd October. While the ballot formally closes on 3 October, given postal strikes on 30 September and 1 October, postal ballots received by post on 4 and 5 October will still be included in the voting count.
The results will be announced at the Half Year Meetings in October.

Why do we hold elections?
The co-operative ideal is based on members having the chance to vote so that everyone will feel heard, valued and appreciated. The Society elections are a way of putting this into action; as a co-operative, we are committed to giving our members the power to make decisions – big and small.
