The 2023 Autumn Conference resolved to delay the 2024 Annual Ballot in order to avoid a clash with the General Election, which was scheduled to occur at any point up until January 2025.
As a result, positions due for election at the 2024 Annual Ballot will be elected simultaneously with the 2025 Annual Ballot. These positions will be for one-year terms in order to maintain staggered elections, which are mandated by section 7(iii) of our Constitution.
