Auch dieses Mal steht ein Mitglied der ÖGE 18 zur Wahl: Dr.ⁱⁿ Marion Romberg. Sie stellt sich zur Wahl als Elected Member, den Beisitzer*innen des ISECS Vorstands.

Die Profile alle Kandidat*innen finden sich auf der ISECS-Website.

Members who do not wish to use electronic voting, or who are unable to do so, may obtain postal voting papers from the Secretary of their national society (ÖGE 18-Secretary thomas.assinger@plus.ac.at). When completed, postal voting papers must be placed in an unmarked sealed envelope inside the outer mailing envelope. The member’s full name, legibly written, and the name of the national society to which he or she belongs must appear on the outer envelope.

Postal voting opens on January 9, 2023. Postal ballots must reach the following address no later than May 5 2023:

All outer envelopes will be checked against the voting register at the first stage of the count. Any envelope that does not carry a member’s name, or that carries the name of someone not on the voting register, or that carries a surname only and the register lists more than one member with that surname, will be counted as void and the inner envelope will not be opened.

Ballot papers with identifying signs or with more names marked than there are posts to fill will be counted as void. Votes for non-candidates will be considered blank in so far as these votes are concerned, other portions of the ballot remaining valid.
