It’s very important to us that as many members as possible take up their opportunity to vote – it’s what makes us a democratic Society. All eligible members will have received an AGM voting pack including information about our AGM resolutions, via post or email, by early April, along with our Annual Review and Directors’ election statements.

This year’s voting will be administered by Electoral Reform Services (ERS), the UK’s leading provider of independent election services.

Voting online is the greenest and easiest way to have your say. Simply visit ersvotes.com/ecology19 and enter your two-part login code as shown on your voting form or email.

We’ll donate 50p to international development charity Trees for Cities for every member who votes online (20p for those voting by post). We’ll also donate £1 to Trees for Cities for every member who signs up to receive future voting packs by email.

Please ensure we receive your vote by 5.00 pm on Wednesday 24 April 2019.
