Elections are now open
Great governance is the oil that helps organisations to function effectively. Governance is important at the IET, it is the mechanism through which our members bring their experience into guiding and leading the Institution, keeping us relevant and credible. We pride ourselves on being a modern, professional, responsive, diverse and inclusive organisation and good governance helps us to be all those things as well as remaining effective and efficient in delivering our objects.
We have candidates standing for all vacant positions in the election for the following:
- Two Vice Presidents, Board of Trustees
- Two Ordinary Members, Board of Trustees
- Six Members of Council
Election Process
The election is open between Thursday, 12 February 2026 and Thursday, 26 March 2026. You should have received either a postal ballot or an email from takepart@cesvotes.com with your unique link and code to vote.
Governance Structure Review
The Trustees have commissioned a governance review, led by a Working Party of current and former Trustees, and including the Chair of Council.
The Working Party has been setting the scope of the review, undertaking research to understand the views of those currently involved in governance at the IET and working through an exercise to define the requirements for effective governance at the IET.
The outcome of this work could result in changes to our governance in the coming years.
