GA Documents 2013 - 2026

Registration to the Congress and the link to register to vote at the GA was sent to members in email during the third week of May 2026.

The GA will be broadcast by Zoom which means that Members (National Centres and Associates) will be able to attend the event either in Antwerp, or online. A Member may only be represented once – either represented in Antwerp, or online – not both.

ALL voting will take place electronically through Zoom, whether the Member is represented in person in Antwerp or takes part online. Representatives attending in person in Antwerp must be able to log into the Zoom voting by laptop, smart phone, or tablet to vote. There will be NO paper votes.

Under the current Constitution, a Member that has paid its 2026/27 membership fee is entitled to vote at the 2026 GA.

A National Centre Member will carry one block of six (6) votes. An Associate Member will carry one (1) vote. Each Member may nominate a single delegate to carry their one block of six (6) votes or their single vote. Article 8 of the Constitution states that a natural person can represent a maximum of two (2) Members.

A Member who takes part online can nominate one natural person to vote and one non-voting Observer to attend the GA. A Member who is represented in Antwerp can nominate one natural person to vote but bring as many Observers as they wish.

PROXY VOTES: If a Member is unable to attend the GA in Antwerp or online, they must FIRST ask another Member if they are willing to carry their Proxy Vote. They must then confirm in the relevant form (Registering to Vote at the GA), the name and email address of the Member carrying their Proxy Vote.
