Voting eligibility

To be eligible to vote in the elections or other Annual Member Meeting (AMM) voting you must be a "Individual" or "Enterprise" member.

"Associates" are not able able to vote in the elections or other AMM votes.

If you are an associate and would like to partake in voting then you have until the 30th September to upgrade your membership.

Voting platform and methodology

We will be using the Summon platform

We are planning on using the majority voting method, we are currently testing this.

This is a change from "ranked choice" voting which we were previously considering as majority voting is the simplest option and is still fair and transparent.

We will be using the "one-member, one vote" principle. Each member (Individual and Enterprise) will have a vote for each committee.

The Intersect Architecture and Strategy Team are currently working with Summon to test the tool. This will go live through the member portal at the start of the voting period.
