First class post used for new ballot papers
New ballot papers for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s 2006 Council election were sent out to members on 7 April following the declaration that the papers
posted a week earlier were invalid (PJ, 8 April,
p425).
The new ballot papers were sent to addresses in Britain by first class
post, instead of the normal second class post, and those sent overseas
were sent by Priority mailing — the equivalent of first class for
overseas mailings. Although all went out on the same day, overseas mailings
were sent out first.
The reply envelopes sent with the ballot papers are also marked first
class/Priority instead of the usual second class/Priority. Completed
ballot papers must reach Electoral Reform Services, which manages the
election on behalf of the Society, by noon on 5 May.
Members who have already voted using the original grey voting paper will
need to vote again because those votes will not be counted. The new ballot
papers are printed on salmon-coloured paper.
The booklet containing information about the candidates has not been
sent out again. It can be accessed through the “About
the Society” section
of the Society’s website.
Copies can also be requested from Electoral Reform Services (tel 020
8889 9203).
