Make your voice heard at the General Assembly
During the General Assembly several proposals are submitted by IFOAM members and the World Board to address specific issues of strategic relevance, suggest changes, or introduce new initiatives within the organization. These initiatives reflect the grassroots engagement of IFOAM’s diverse membership and ensure that the voices of all members are heard and considered.
If you are a member of our organisation access all GA-related information in the member area. There, you will be able to:
- Learn how to vote
- Assign a proxy vote in case you can't attend the GA
- Read the GA-related documents
If you are unable to join us for the virtual Extraordinary General Assembly, you can still participate by delegating your vote through a proxy. Here’s how you can ensure your voice is heard:
In the first weeks of May, you will receive an email containing access to your unique voting code. This code will also be visible in the Member Area of the IFOAM website.
To register your vote:
-
Log in to the Member Area using your credentials.
-
Navigate to the "General Assembly" tab.
-
Go to the "Voter Registration" section.
-
Select the individual who will vote on behalf of your organisation from the drop-down menu. If the correct person is not listed, you can update the contact details in the Member Area.
If no one from your organisation is available to vote, you may delegate your vote by sharing your voting code with another IFOAM member who will vote on your behalf.
If you have agreed to vote on behalf of another organization:
-
Go to the "Vote as Proxy on Behalf of Another Organisation" section in the member area.
-
Enter the voting code provided by that organization.
-
Select your name from the drop-down menu next to the voting code field.
You can register to vote for up to five organisations as a proxy.
If you make an error or need to change your vote assignment, simply click "Unassign" next to the respective entry in the "Registered Votes" section. This will allow you to correct the information.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact the IFOAM Secretariat at ga@ifoam.bio.
