Why are the Elections later than usual? Results are usually posted at Conference!

Why are the Elections later than usual? Results are usually posted at Conference!

The reason they are later than normal is that this year at conference we had a special rules revison session. This meant there were various proposals to reduce the NEC , Telecoms executive and the Postal Executive. At the rules revison it was agreed to reduce the National Executive , it was agreed to remove the indoor national officers role on the postal department and the telecoms executive was reduced. It was also agreed that the term of office would now be two years.

The rule changes came into force the day after conference so the national elections were put back from its normal slot of before conference to after conference in order for the rules changes and reductions to take place.
