Federal Committee Elections

Following the approval of the proposed motion aimed at reforming the Party's governance structures at the Autumn conference in Brighton a few weeks ago and as the party's acting returning officer I am pleased to be able to confirm to you the timetable for the election of the Party's federal committees.

Any member who joins before the close of nominations (2nd November) is able to vote in the election, so this is a fantastic time to ask local supporters and former members to join the party. The easiest way for them to join is online at libdems.org.uk/ask-to-join.

You can read more about the remit of the new federal committees and download the nominations forms here: libdems.org.uk/internal-elections. Unless you would like to stand for any of these committees, you don't need to do anything right now. We will be in touch once nominations have closed with details of how you can vote.

If you have any questions regarding this process, please get in touch via libdems.org.uk/contact.

Best wishes,

Tim Gordon
Chief Executive and Acting Returning Officer
Liberal Democrats

PS: More than 20,000 new members have joined us since the EU referendum on June 23rd. People are joining us today who have never been involved before, and everyone who joins now is going to get a vote in the federal committee elections. So why not forward this email to a few friends now and ask them to join? All they need to do is go to libdems.org.uk/join.
