Elections, results and timetables
FPH elections timetable 2008/9
In 2008/9 there will be elections for four Local Board Members (North East, South East Coast, Scotland and Northern Ireland). There are no vacancies for General Board Members or for Fellows elected by the membership to serve on the Fellowship Committee.
All FPH members in good standing in the appropriate constituencies may vote in these elections provided their names are included in the FPH electoral roll at the time of the elections.
Eligibility to participate in Local Board Member elections is based on workplace address for those members who are employed, and on home address for those members who are retired or not working.
Please make sure that you have notified FPH of any change in your address or contact details so that the electoral roll is correct. If you fail to do this, it could mean that you will not be sent papers for elections in which you are eligible to participate.
