Fed elections: nominations open
1 July 2021
Nominations for workplace representatives have now opened ahead of this year’s Police Federation elections.
Members considering standing for election are being encouraged to step forward as soon as possible and are also reminded there is still time to find out more about the life of a workplace rep.
West Midlands branch chair Jon Nott said: “Nominations for the elections are now open and we would urge any members thinking about putting themselves forward as a workplace rep to do so.
“It is open to every subscribing member but we would particularly urge members from under-represented groups to stand for election so that we can ensure the branch is representative of the membership.
“Being a workplace rep can be challenging but it is also incredibly rewarding. If anyone is considering putting themselves forward but wants more information they are welcome to contact me.”
Elections for Federation reps are held every three years with interim elections being organised if positions become vacant.
Nominations for Fed reps for this year’s election close at 11.59pm on 22 July.
All subscribing PFEW members will receive an email directly to their PNN address (or their selected preferred email address) today from the Federation’s independent third-party electoral service provider, Mi-Voice.
Non-subscribing members cannot stand for election but can vote. Details of the voting platform will be provided in the coming weeks once the nomination period is closed.
The email to subscribing members will contain 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.
Members are asked to check their junk mailbox if they cannot see the email from Mi-Voice in their inbox.
