NEC unchanged after re-run ballot
New NEC elections in two BECTU divisions have produced identical results to ballots earlier in the year.
The new ballots in London Production Division, and the Arts and Entertaiment division, were run after the union discovered flaws in lists of members eligible to vote in biennial elections for the union's National Executive Committee.
All seven NEC members elected in the first ballot were successfully re-elected in the second poll, leaving the composition of the NEC unchanged.
Results of the re-run ballots were:
