The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) is encouraging veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses to, not only, vote, in this year’s RCVS and VN Councils elections, but to vote online. The elections will feature both a new voting platform and regular personalised email reminders from Electorial Reform Services (ERS) Ltd which will make it easier to vote online. These emails will include a unique link to the voting platform and the ability to log in securely straight away, without having to remember where you left your ballot paper in order to find your security codes.
Ballot papers and candidates details will be posted on Wednesday 22 March 2017 to all veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses eligible to vote, and online voting will open on Friday 24 March 2017. All votes must be cast, either online or by post, by 5pm on Friday 28 April 2017.
If you are a veterinary surgeon and have not received your ballot papers by Friday 31 March, please contact Luke Bishop on l.bishop@rcvs.org.uk. If you are a veterinary nurse and have not received your ballot papers by Friday 31 March, please contact Annette Amato on a.amato@rcvs.org.uk Further information can be found on the RCVS website.
