About one third of Council members are elected every year, usually for a three-year term. This year there are 13 vacancies and ICE members, depending on their grade and location, can vote in the different categories. The vacancies within the categories are:
- Six general members − not representative of a specific constituency and elected by professionally qualified members only
- Five regional members − elected by professionally qualified members from their respective regions only
- East of England
- London
- South East England
- Yorkshire and Humber
- Scotland
- One member to represent Europe − elected by professionally qualified members residing in Europe (excluding UK)
- One graduate member − elected by graduate members only
Changes to the voting method
This year, the voting method has changed slightly and ICE is asking all members with a valid email address to vote online. If you do not have an email address, you will still be able to vote by post. However, ICE would like to encourage as many members as possible to vote online.
How to vote
Electoral Reform Services (ERS) has been appointed to carry out the ballot process to ensure the security of the vote. There are two voting methods available to members:
- Via post: If you do not have an email address, you will be able to vote by post
- Via email: If you have an email address, voting will take place online. You will receive the ballot information via email and will be directed to a secure, dedicated website to cast your vote. The system does not allow votes to be cast a second time.
