These are the last few days for your opportunity to register to vote in the BNDfC Community Representatives elections and for you to put yourself forward as a candidate to stand as a Community Representative on the BNDfC Board.
Everyone over the age of 15 who lives in the BNDfC area is entitled to vote in the forthcoming elections for six Community Representatives on the New Deal Board. You are included even if you do not have residency status from the Home Office or if you have recently moved to the area.
If you are over 18 years old, interested in representing your community and taking their views forward and you want to help the BNDfC programme deliver projects in Burngreave, this is your opportunity to stand for election.
Deadline extended
We have extended the closing date by a few days to Wednesday 6th June 2007 to ensure you have time to register to vote or to submit your Nomination Forms to stand. Call in at the Information Shop and register to vote.
Nomination Forms are also available from the Information Shop on Spital Hill or by phoning Mark Stringfellow at BNDfC on 292 2910.
Look out for your Ballot packs which will be sent by post to everyone on the BNDfC electoral register from 15th June 2007. Each pack will contain a ballot paper, information on each candidate and a pre-paid envelope for you to return your vote. Also this year, you will have the opportunity to vote by text, so, it couldn’t be simpler!
From June 25th 2007 there will be a number of opportunities for you to meet your new candidates, so look out for posters and leaflets advertising venues. Candidates will be making themselves known to you around Burngreave in the next few weeks, so stop and have a chat with them.
Results will be announced on Monday 9th July 2007 with a celebration to welcome the new Board members.
The information supplied for our electoral register will be treated as confidential and will not be shared with any other organisation.
