How to vote in your AGM

Vote in advance

Voting is now open, and you don't need to attend the AGM in order to have your say.

You'll need to vote in the elections in advance of the AGM. You can vote on the resolutions in advance too.

Vote online

Visit the online voting platform and enter your membership details, which you can find on your membership card. Voting online closes at 11.59pm on 25 October.

Vote by post

If you'd like to vote or register your interest to attend the AGM by post, you will need to request a postal vote below. The deadline to make this request is 5pm on 11 October.

Vote at the meeting

If you plan to attend the meeting online or in person, you can vote on the resolutions on the day. However, you'll still need to vote in the elections before the deadline either online or by post. Only the resolutions are voted on at the meeting itself.

Members are welcome to join the meeting online or in person and to do so you'll need to register by 11:59pm on 25 October.

In-person spaces for the event are limited, so we recommend you register your interest as soon as possible. If interest to attend in person exceeds venue capacity, places will be allocated by ballot and some members may be asked to join online. All attending members (whether in-person or online) will be able to ask questions on the resolutions and vote on the day.

Different types of vote

There are three different types of vote you can choose from to have your say.

• Specified vote

This is where you specify how you want your vote to be cast by your proxy (Chair of the AGM) and they act as your representative and vote as directed by you. You can do this by selecting 'for', 'against' or 'abstain' for the individual resolutions and by selecting your preferred election candidates.

• Quick vote

To cast your vote in support of the Board of Trustees' position on all resolutions, and/or recommended election candidates/candidate bodies, you can use the quick vote option.

• Discretionary vote

You can cast a discretionary vote for the resolutions, but not in the elections. This means you're directing the proxy (Chair of the AGM) to vote on the resolutions as they see fit. You can do this by selecting the 'discretionary' box.
