NEC elections: Request your replacement ballot paper

If you haven’t had – or have lost – your ballot paper for the important NEC elections, here’s what to do.

The elections to elect members of our national executive committee (NEC) opened on 18 April and close on Thursday 9 May.

This is your opportunity to choose who runs the union and represents you on our NEC, the governing body of PCS. The NEC elections determine who makes the day to day decisions on how the union is run and what direction we take in our campaigns.

You should by now have had your ballot paper in the post, but if you haven’t, you can request a replacement by logging in to PCS Digital. Or if you’ve had it and lost it, the process is the same.

The ballot is only postal, you can’t vote online.

The deadline for requesting a replacement ballot paper is 5pm on Sunday 28 April.

Watch a video from our general secretary, Fran Heathcote, explaining the importance of the NEC elections.

You can vote for the positions of president, deputy president and vice-presidents and ordinary member seats. It is a statutory ballot and therefore postal only.

Each candidate has written an election address (statement) to explain why you should vote for them. Please read them carefully before making your choice.

Download and read the election addresses.

Remember to vote in our national ballot for strike action if you haven’t already done so. The ballot closes on 13 May. If you don't have a ballot paper the deadline for replacement is also 28 April. Request one on PCS Digital.
