How to access electronic voting for the Nationwide AGM by requesting secure codes from the scrutineer, Civica Election Services (CES)
The 2026 AGM is online only – if you are a member (most customers of Nationwide are members), you can attend the AGM virtually at 11am on Wednesday 15th July 2026.
You may have received an AGM ballot by post or an invitation to vote by email.
However if you can’t attend, or haven’t received a voting communication, you can still request your voting codes over email and submit your vote online in advance of the AGM on Wednesday 15th July 2026.
How to request voting codes to enter the AGM voting website
1/ Visit the Nationwide website at https://www.nationwide.co.uk/about-us/have-your-say/our-agm and click on “Vote now”


2/ (A) Click “Can’t find your voting codes?” to reveal an extra section – then (B) click “Don’t know your voting codes?”

3/ (A) Enter your email address, (B) the random generated code and (C) click “Request Security Code”

4/ You will get a confirmation page asking you to check you email.

5/ (A) Open your email and then (B) Click the link labelled “click on this unique link”

6/ The link will direct you back to the Nationwide AGM site, and your voting codes will be pre-populated. Just click the “Login” button to enter the voting site.

7/ You will now be able to vote. We recommend voting AGAINST all proposed resolutions and AGAINST the re-election of all board members.
8/ At the end of the process – you are asked if you’d like someone to act as your proxy at the meeting. This is assigned to the Chairman by default, OR you can assign it to someone else you’d like to have represent you.
This is especially important if you are leaving any of the tick box rows blank.
If you don’t put one tick in a box PER ROW, you’re leaving it to the discretion of your proxy – which by default is the Chairman.
So please consider voting “Against” (James’ preference), or Withheld if you don’t want to vote “For” a Board Candidate. And if you want to leave it blank, recognise that the Chair as your default Appointed Representative will be voting “For” other candidates, as per the Board’s recommendations.
If you are unsure how to vote, and would like to leave it to James to decide for you, please appoint him as your Representative at the end of the form, by using this information:
- James Sherwin-Smith – customer number 7161359006
- Westbrook, Lake View Road, Furnace Wood, East Grinstead, West Sussex RH19 2QE
