If like me you’re a member of the Electoral Reform Society, you’ll have recently received a thick wad of paperwork through your letterbox. The reason? It’s time for the election to the Council of the ERS. The deadline for voting is this Friday, 26th August, so time’s not on your side to wade through the 53 manifestos of those standing for election.
Simon McGrath wrote about the elections here on Lib Dem Voice this week, sparking an interesting discussion thread. But here’s a further five posts (in no particular order) I’d personally recommend reading before deciding how to cast your vote:
- Electoral Reform Society elections – runners and riders (Mat Bowles)
- Chris’ notes on the ERS Council Elections (Chris Carrigan)
- ERS – The Wrong Kind Of Reform Slate? #yes2stv (Andrew Hickey)
- Voting in the Election of the Electoral Reform Society Council (Andy Strange)
- Why the Electoral Reform Society needs reform! (John Ault)
The full list of candidates for the ERS Council can be found here. Please feel free to use the thread below to highlight links you think would be of interest to Voice readers in deciding how to vote…
