Ø  Nominees must be a financial member of Shop! ANZ. Individuals from companies not up to date with membership payments or ‘complimentary’ members are not eligible;

Ø  Nominees may not vote for themselves;

Ø  Each Member Company may only vote once, via its authorised representative;

Ø  Current Board Members may vote and be the authorised representative for their respective Member Companies; and

Ø  Each Company may have only one (1) nominee.

The results of the ballot will be announced at Shop! ANZ’s Annual General Meeting; however, if only ten (10) nominations are received, including in all cases two (2) Directors nominated by the current Board Members, a Ballot will not be necessary.

Please note that in order to be nominated or to vote in the 2019 Shop! ANZ election, your company is required to be a current paid Member of Shop! ANZ as of 5:00pm on Thursday 25 July 2019.
