Canvassing and elections

Conference instructs the Executive Council to set up a task and finish group on the issue of canvassing for elections within the Fire Brigades Union.

The group should provide recommendations to the Executive Council on how to ensure that election candidates can make themselves and their commitments known to the membership. The Executive Council should establish a standardised procedure whereby Members receive notification of such details on candidates wishing to stand.

This process should be applied at the nomination stage, the election stage or both. Any information provided by candidates should be approved by the Executive Council to ensure equal and fair representation to the membership.

Conference instructs the Executive Council to provide a resolution on this issue to Conference 2019.
