In the 2020 NEC elections, for which the ballot opens on 19 October, the Campaign for Labour Party Democracy (CLPD) and the other constituent organisations of the Centre-Left Grassroots Alliance (CLGA) are all recommending members use their votes to secure the election of the maximum number of candidates who support a progressive policy agenda and defend party democracy.

CLP Section of NEC

The election for the nine CLP seats on Labour’s NEC is being conducted using Single Transferable Voting (STV) for the first time. In the past members had nine votes of equal value. This time members will be asked to rank candidates by preference using numbers.

To maximise the effectiveness of members’ votes it is best they rank their preferences in the specific order recommended by the CLGA for the geographical area they live in.

Casting the vote, for positions 1 through to 6, in the recommended order helps minimise the danger of any of the #GV6 candidates being unnecessarily knocked out of the election at early stages of the count.

Find out the recommended order of candidates for your area by using this postcode finder here.

After listing their first six preferences on the ballot paper, it is recommended that the seventh and subsequent preferences are given to other candidates who support a progressive policy agenda and defend party democracy.

Disability and Youth elections

The recommended candidates are Lara McNeill for Youth Rep and Ellen Morrison for Disabled Rep.
