There will be elections for all positions on the Executive Council at the AGM on August 14.

Nominations are open as of now, and close at midnight Mon August 8, in order to allow time for advance votes.

The Executive Positions being elected are:

Candidates must be nominated and seconded in writing (email) by two different pirate party members, and they must also accept nomination in writing (email).

Candidates may stand for more than one position, but once they win one position they are disqualified from all other positions.
