Influence the future of PRS

The Members’ Council ballot is managed by Civica Election Services (‘CES’) on PRS’ behalf and is open until 14 April. 

The election materials, including candidate details and canvassing video statements, are available on the ballot site hosted by Civica, as well as our website. Voting members can review this information to help them decide which candidates best represent their views on the Members’ Council. Candidates may also engage directly with voting members to canvass for votes.
