Council Representatives
Following on from the nominations process there are only three regions/nations where nominations exceeded the vacancies available, so council elections will be held in the following regions/nations:
All u3as who have pre-registered are eligible to vote for candidates in their region/nation. An email will be sent to the registered voter for your u3a with a link to the voting form.
If your u3a is not located in one of the regions/nations listed above, the number of candidates who applied did not exceed the number of available vacancies. Those representatives who have been nominated in a nation/region that is uncontested will take up their positions from April 2025.
