The first phase of the 2021 Police Federation elections process is drawing to a close with nominations for workplace representatives due in this week.
The deadline for nominations is 23.59pm on Thursday (22 July) before voting gets underway at the end of the month.
Subscribing Federation members should have received an email directly to their PNN address (or their selected preferred email address) from the independent third-party electoral service provider, Mi-Voice. The email includes a link to an online nomination form. Members who wish to stand for election will need to complete the form confirming that they are eligible to stand and agree to the Standards and Performance Agreement before Thursday’s deadline.
Members are asked to check their junk mailbox if they cannot see the email from Mi-Voice in their inbox.
Non-subscribing members cannot stand for election but are still entitled to vote. Details of the voting platform will be provided in the coming weeks once the nomination period is over.
Elections for Federation reps are held every three years with interim elections being organised if positions become vacant.
The 2018 national elections were the first held under new procedures introduced after the Independent Review of the Police Federation.
Members who want more information about the role or the election process should contact the Federation office.
