Council Elections
Council elections occur each year, assuming there are more council nominations than vacancies. Newly elected or acclaimed councillors take office at the annual general meeting following the election. The process for appointing lay councillors is handled separately.

Am I Eligible to Vote?
All active registered and retired registered members (RPFs, RFTs, RPF(Ret), RFT(Ret)) who are in good standing on the date of record are eligible to vote in council elections.

Eligible voting members will receive an electronic ballot in December unless they specifically request a paper ballot. To request a paper one, e-mail us at or change your balloting preference on the Manage Your Mailings page of the ABCFP login section.
