What is Direct Member Voting?
It’s your chance to shape the future of Benenden Health by voting on important decisions. A motion gets voted on if it’s put forward by the Board, the Member Council, or if at least 250 members support it.
Here's what you can cast your vote on:
- Your Board of Directors - Help elect those making big decisions at the top.
- Your Benenden Health Community Reps - Choose the people who will run your community and bring your ideas to life.
- Product and service changes - Have a say on the services you enjoy.
- Proposals to change our rulebook - significant changes to how we’re governed.
Some of the things you can expect to vote on include:
The Board of Directors
The election of the people making decisions at the highest level of the Society.
Your Benenden Health Community Representatives
The election of the people running your Benenden Health Community and through which your ideas will be considered, explored, and developed.
Significant product and service changes

How do I cast my vote?
It's very easy. You have the option to vote online, by mail, or in person during our Annual Conference. You can expect to receive all the voting info at least 28 days prior to the Conference. If you're unable to vote yourself, you can always appoint a proxy to cast a vote for you.
Just a heads up – the deadline for postal and online voting is two days before the Conference. If you're attending in person, you can vote on the day.
We’ll share the voting results during the Conference and also post the results on our website. Make sure to check back here or visit our Online Community for any updates.
