Branches have to ensure that the General Secretary's office receives their nominations by 1200 on Monday 6 March. They must be made on an official form, which has been sent to Branch Secretaries.

Where ballots are required, these will open in the week commencing 13 March, and close on Friday 28 April.

The results will be embargoed under rule until the close of the union's 2006 annual conference in Eastbourne on Sunday 21 May.

Electoral Reform Services will, as usual, be the independent scrutineer administering the ballots. Members should check that the union has their correct postal address.
