1. Date, time and place of elections

The dates for the election of the Brussels Local Staff Committee, as determined by the general meeting, are 9, 10 and 11 March 1999. Opening times of polling stations, as determined by the Electoral Office, will be 09.00 hours to 17.30 hours non-stop on each of the three days. If the quorum has not been reached after these three days, the electoral period will automatically be extended by ten working days from 12 to 25 March 1999 (Article 14(d) of the Procedure for election).
Electors may vote only once; otherwise their vote will be void.

Provided they are on the electoral roll, the following are entitled to vote (Article 1 of Annex II to the Staff Regulations):
  • all officials of the institution
  • all other servants within the meaning of the Staff Regulations, whose contracts are for an indefinite period or for more than a year, and those whose contracts are for less that a year provided they have been employed by the Commission for at least six months.

  • 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.

Anyone who acquires the right to vote after publication of the electoral roll will be allowed to vote upon presentation of the administrative instrument showing proof of entitlement. A copy of this document must be handed in at the polling station.
