Voting via email for NPA members commences on January 23, with postal ballots sent out to those who have not voted online in early February. Voting will close on February 22.
Producers will only vote for producers, and allied industry members for allied industry candidates, with one vote per membership.
The number of members on PIG is being reduced from 18 to 12 during the election. However, with a number of long-serving members not seeking re-election, there will be some new faces on it once the voting is complete.
