NEC members representing each of the four PDA Union regions will be elected from, and by, the membership in each region. The six officer roles will be elected from, and by, the national membership.

In accordance with the statutory provisions relating to Trade Union elections, an independent scrutineer has been appointed from the list approved by the Secretary of State for Employment, who will be responsible for supervising the production and the distribution of nomination papers. Under legislation, voting for any contested seats must be undertaken by anonymous postal ballot.
