ISHR-ES Council Election 2026
There are two positions open on the ISHR-ES Council. All members have two votes each, and they may assign one vote to each candidate of their choice.
Election to the Council is by simple majority.
In order to maintain a fair balance of geographical representation, if two candidates from the same Institute are elected, only the candidate with the higher vote total will be appointed to the Council. The other Council seat will be allocated to the candidate who placed third in the overall vote count.
We are using an online system - “ElectionBuddy” - to count the votes. You can only vote once (for up to two candidates) and your voting choice will remain anonymous.
Voting is now open. All ISHR-ES members should receive an email from ISHR - European Section (via ElectionBuddy) by Friday 6 February containing a secure link to vote in this election.
