Voting is now open to decide the identity of supporter representatives on the Hibernian Board of Directors.
17 supporters are standing for election, and fans can view their personal statements via the club website
Voting is open to any supporters aged 18 or over with a Season Ticket Membership for seasons 2012/13, 2013/14 or 2014/15, or current shareholders (as of Thursday 23 October, when the nominations opened).
Whilst the club appreciate that this excludes a large number of supporters, a measure had to be put in place to ensure the authenticity of applicants and voters.
Supporters who are eligible to vote are invited to log in to the Hibernian Consultation website using your Client Reference Number and Post Code. Shareholders without a Client Reference Number can log in using other personal information.
Hibs will also provide a ballot box at Easter Road Stadium in January for those wishing to vote in person. Further details for this will be announced early in the New Year.
Supporters will be invited to vote for the two individuals they wish to fulfil the roles. Both counts hold the same weighting (i.e. it doesn’t matter who you select first and second). Once supporters cast their vote they will be unable to change their mind or vote again.
The voting will be open until midnight on Sunday 18th January, with the successful candidates (the two with the highest number of votes) announced thereafter.
If supporters have any questions with the process or issues accessing the voting page please contact Colin on 0131 656 7090, or e-mail cmillar@hibernianfc.co.uk.
