The election supplement contains information about each candidate nominating for Council, along with a ballot paper and pre-paid post envelope.

To cast your vote, follow the prompts on the election supplement in relation to what steps to take and what information you need to provide.

If there is more than one eligible Voting Member in your household, additional copies of the election supplement will be sent separately from the Horizons magazine.

Each year, if there are more candidates who nominate than there are vacant positions on the Council, RAC holds a postal election. RAC’s eligible Voting Members can then voluntarily participate in a ‘first past the post’ election.

The candidates who receive the most valid votes in the postal election are then elected to the Council.

The results of the election are announced at RAC’s Annual General Meeting.
