Elections latest: Nominations deadline extended

26 July 2021

The deadline for Police Federation workplace representative nominations has been extended so there is still time for members to put themselves forward.

It means nominations will now close at 11.59pm on Thursday 29 July with voting getting underway at 8am on Thursday 5 August and closing at 11.59pm on Thursday 28 August.

Newly elected Branch Councils will then come in post on 1 September.

All 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. 

Members are asked to check their junk mailbox if they cannot see the email from Mi-Voice in their inbox.

Derbyshire Police Federation members can also apply via the link on Chief Constable’s  Orders.

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.

The email to subscribing members includes a link to an online nomination form.

Members who wish to stand for election will need to complete the form, which includes confirming that they are eligible to stand and agree to the Standards and Performance Agreement.

Officers who want more information about the role or the election process should contact the Federation office.

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.
