- Are you eligible?
If you want to stand for election to a body, you must first determine whether you are eligible, i.e. whether you can be elected in the first place. In order to be eligible, you must be listed on the current ‘electoral list’, which will be published on 8 October 2024.
- Log in to E-vote
If you are listed on the electoral list, you must log in to the electronic candidate notification E-vote.
- Create list of candidates
Here you create a list of candidates for the body you want to stand for.
- Add candidates to the list
Once you have created the list of candidates, you can add candidates to that list. Remember! Since it is you who created the list, you are the ‘list coordinator’ and therefore automatically appear as a candidate on the list. But perhaps you would like to add a number of fellow candidates to the list.
- Add supporters and send invitations
In order to stand for election, you must have supporters. In other words, your VIP/TAP colleagues must vouch for you as a candidate. You must therefore add a minimum of 4 supporters (in most cases) and send them an invitation.
- Submit the list of candidates
When the list is complete (i.e. accepted by all candidates and voters), it must be sent to the election secretariat and is thus definitive.
- Respond to an invitation
A supporter must respond to an invitation by either accepting or declining it.
