Note to all staff members
Notice of election

The following election notice has been issued by the Electoral Office, the members of which are listed in Annex I, in accordance with Article 5 of the Procedure for election of the Brussels Local Staff Committee, confirmed by the general meeting on 19 January 1999.
  1. Date, time and place of elections

    Following the cancellation by the Commission on 29 September of the Brussels Local Staff Committee elections held on 9, 10 and 11 March and in accordance with the decision of 5 October of the Director-General for Personnel and Administration, the Electoral Office has set the date of the elections for 30 November, 1 and 2 December 1999. The opening times of the polling stations are set out in Annex 2. If the quorum has not been reached after these three days, the electoral period will automatically be extended by ten working days, from 3 to 16 December (Article 14(d) of the Procedure for election)

    Electors may vote only once; otherwise their vote will be void.

    The provisional list of the polling stations is given in Annex 2. Some buildings will be served by a mobile polling station. The times when this polling station will be present will be announced in due course.

    Should it be necessary to extend the voting period by ten working days, four fixed polling stations and one mobile station will be opened. Staff will be informed later where these will be located.

    For other places of employment represented by the Brussels Local Staff Committee, the deadline by which postal votes must reach the President of the Electoral Office is 17.30 on 2 December (Article 14(c)).

  2. Entitlement to vote

    The electors concerned are:

    - those serving in Brussels
    - those serving in places in a Member State other than Brussels but not in one of the following places: Luxembourg, Ispra, Karlsruhe, Geel, Petten, Culham, Seville and France.

    The electoral roll was put on display in all Commission buildings in Brussels on 8 October and it has been brought to the notice of officials and other staff employed outside Brussels. Any objections must be lodged not later than 20 October; the electoral roll will be deemed final on expiry of the time limit for the response of the Director-General to objections, i.e. 25 October 1999.

    Only those electors included in the electoral roll will be entitled to vote.
  3. Voting procedure

    b) or by voting for a maximum of 27 candidates for full membership and alternate membership, chosen from one or more lists: a cross must be placed in the box opposite the name of each candidate chosen, up to a maximum of 27 candidates (preference vote).

    Ballot papers bearing both a cross against a list and further crosses against the names of candidates on the same list will be treated as preference votes by the Electoral Office.

    Ballot papers bearing any other writing, signature, erasure or mark whatsoever will be declared void.

    Votes may not be cast by telephone, fax, electronic mail or any other electronic means.
