ANZCA trainee committee elections

All ANZCA trainees who meet the conditions outlined in Regulation 16 are eligible to stand for election, endorse a candidate's nomination, and vote in their registered jurisdiction.

We will announce the call for nominations in appropriate communications channels, and advise members of the specific criteria that need to be met in order to nominate.

We encourage members to check that their contact information is up-to-date in the MyAnzca Portal. We strongly recommend that you provide your personal email account, as we are aware that many hospital firewalls are set up to protect individuals or complex networks. Firewalls filter incoming and outgoing email-server traffic based on a set of rules determined by the firewall administrator.
 

An election will be called if the number of nominated candidates exceeds any available positions, as per Regulation 16 (16.4.5).
 
It will vary slightly from year to year, but voting will generally take place over two weeks in late October or early November.

If an election is called, details and advance notice will be given to all voting trainees. Trainees will be invited to vote for their preferred candidates during a specific period (usually 14 days) in late October or early November.

We use a secure third party electronic voting service called Election Runner to manage the ANZCA trainee committee elections.
 
During the polling period (usually 14 days), you will be able to access candidate bios and statements and cast your vote. It's easy to use, and you can vote from any location on any device.

Once the ballot has closed and results are known, all candidates will be contacted immediately by the regional co-ordinator to advise them of the result.

The results of the elections are sent to the EEMC for ratification.
