Guidance and Resources for Conducting Elections within DA

Requirements and Guidelines for holding fair and transparent elections of DA Officers and Voting Representatives within DPCA, the Regions and Country Committees.

These documents have been created as a result of extensive experience of running elections at various levels within Democrats Abroad, and identify the key factors that contribute to successful running of fair elections, and flagging the things that can go wrong – either intentionally or unintentionally.

• DA Leaders and members of Nominations and Elections Committees (NEC) are encouraged to carefully review the relevant documents when planning for an upcoming Election

• Also, please seek advice from your Regional Vice Chair or experienced fellow CC leaders, if you have any questions on the rules, process, or implementation for your Election – fellow leaders are here to help!
