  The regulations will also be published on the CWU website and a copy will be issued to all candidates nominated to stand in the elections.
Elections Prize Draws
Branches are reminded that in order to protect the integrity of these very important national elections and more importantly, ensure that the union is legally compliant with the relevant legislation covering such elections, that election prize draws should not be conducted under any circumstances unless written authorisation has been given by the Senior Deputy General Secretary.
Any enquiries regarding this LTB should be addressed to Senior Deputy General Secretary Department, CWU HQ, for the attention of Peter Metcalfe, Telephone:  0208 971 7368, Email:          pmetcalfe@cwu.org.
Yours sincerely
