How to Vote for James

If you would like to support James in the Nationwide AGM Board election, this guide explains exactly how to cast your vote.

Voting only takes a few minutes, but it is important to follow the correct steps.

Step 1: Find Your Voting Pack

Eligible Members should receive voting information by email or post before the AGM.

If voting online, look out for an email from CESjoinIN containing your personal voting link.

Step 2: Do Not Use Quick Vote

Members will be offered a “Quick Vote” option.

Quick Vote allows Members to submit votes using Nationwide’s recommended positions without reviewing each item individually.

If you want to support James, do not select Quick Vote.

Instead, choose the option that allows you to review the resolutions and Board elections individually.

Step 3: Go to the Board Election Section

Work through the voting process until you reach the section covering the Board election.

You will be shown the candidates standing for election.

Take the time to read the information provided about each candidate.

Step 4: Vote for James

When you reach the Board election section:

✅ Select James as your preferred candidate.

Make sure your selection has been recorded before moving to the next screen.

Step 5: Consider the Other Candidates

Members can make their own decisions about the remaining candidates.

Read the information provided and vote according to your own judgement.

Some Members may choose to support additional candidates, while others may choose not to.

The important thing is to make an informed choice rather than relying on the automatic voting option.

Step 6: Submit Your Vote

Review your selections carefully.

Once you are happy with your choices:

✅ Submit your vote.

You should receive confirmation that your vote has been recorded.

Why Avoid Quick Vote?

Many Members may not realise that Quick Vote follows Nationwide’s recommended voting positions.

If you want to decide each resolution and election for yourself, you should review the ballot individually.

Voting individually ensures that your vote reflects your own choices.
