NEC Elections

You have until 31st July to register your vote.  This can be done via the main Labour Party website www.labour.org.uk but a word of warning: the posted instructions from head office are incorrect: these tell you to got to the members' page, log on and then click on the NEC/ALC Elections box.  The box is actually on the home page of the website, NOT on the Members' page.

As you know Ann Black, one of the candidates, has been doing an excellent job on the NEC of keeping members informed through her personal monthly reports and website available to all and which I have been posting on our website, so my first vote shall be going to her.
