BPS elections are managed via an online system, so please watch out for an email from our elections partner, Mi-Voice, which is an independent organisation supporting the BPS with this process. If you don't have an email address registered with the BPS, or if you have opted out of online voting, you will receive a postal ballot instead.
There will also be the option for you to vote on amended society rules and to indicate if you would wish to join a proposed new Environmental Psychology Section. More information will be included in the email you'll receive from Mi-Voice.
Ahead of voting opening, you can find out more about the candidates, their backgrounds, and their motivations for putting themselves forward on the dedicated elections section of our website.
