📝 Trust AGM and Election details

This year’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held at the Exeter Phoenix on Saturday, November 21 at 11am, prior to City's home match against Oldham Athletic.

With COVID 19 restrictions, at this stage it is difficult to predict whether we will be allowed or should hold an in person AGM in November.

The Trust Board is making preparations for the AGM to proceed in person at Exeter Phoenix and remotely using Zoom.

There will be at least one vacancy for the Trust Board this year. To assist in helping you decide if you wish to seek nomination to stand for election, an information pack that explains the role of a Trust Board member and the Election Campaigning Policy can be found here along with the arrangements for completing a valid nomination form.

Nominations should be despatched to arrive with the Returning Officer no later than noon on October 17, 2020.

The 2020 Trust Board Election will be the first to use electronic voting, should the election be contested utilising the Election Runner software package.

The voting system utilises the trust members registered email address for the vote. The system provides for reminders to voters throughout the voting period.

The Trust still has a small number of members (around 5%) for which we do not have email addresses. Therefore, for any 2020 election a paper ballot will be provided for those members.

With COVID 19 restrictions it is difficult to predict whether we will be allowed or should hold any in person events in support of the election campaign. Therefore, the Trust Board is preparing for both in person and remote events using Zoom.

Final arrangements will be made nearer to the election period in consultation with our returning officer and current government guidance.

Following on from comments received following the 2019 election the Hustings will be the initial event of the election campaign. The voting period will not commence until after the hustings.

The hustings will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2020.

At this stage it is not possible to say whether the hustings will be held in person or via Zoom. It is planned to record the hustings and for it to be made available for those not able to attend in person.
