National Executive Committee 2018

Each year, PCS members vote to elect the union’s National Executive Committee.

It is important that you vote in these elections.

The NEC is the governing body of PCS, responsible for running your union in line with the policies established by you and other members through National Annual Delegate Conferences and membership ballots.

Members are entitled to the following votes:

President – one vote.

Deputy President and Vice-Presidents – four votes

The candidate securing the highest number of votes shall be elected Deputy President and the three candidates securing the next highest number of votes shall be elected Vice-Presidents. It is intended that each of these shall be employed by a different employer.

NEC Ordinary Member Seats – thirty votes

At least two seats are intended to be filled by black members and no more than eight seats are to be filled by candidates from the same employer.

The number of branch nominations received for each candidate is listed with each election
address. Which branches nominated each candidate is shown on the PCS website,
www.pcs.org.uk. Please return your completed ballot paper in the envelope provided as soon as you can. It must be received by the Independent Scrutineers no later than 12 noon on Thursday
10 May 2018. Ballot papers received after then will not be included in the count of votes.

The regulations covering these elections have been sent to every Branch Secretary. They
are also available on the PCS website or by contacting the PCS balloting office.
I urge you to take up your democratic right to vote in these elections. It’s your union, have
your say in who runs it.

Mark Serwotka                General Secretary
