When does the election process start?
The election process will start when our
foundation trust application has received
approval from the Secretary of State and has been forwarded to
Monitor, the independent
regulator. We anticipate that this will be in 2011.

officer. Members will vote by postal ballot.

How does the nomination process work?
Details of the nomination and voting process
will be posted to each member before an election so that they can
nominate themselves as an election candidate and so that they can
vote for candidates within their own constituency.
Members who wish to nominate themselves to
stand for election will be asked to provide some information about
themselves and why they think that members would vote for them to
become a governor. Find out more about becoming a
governor.
