Who can vote

We're owned by our members. And our members have a say in how we’re run.

Eligible members can vote on motions, attend our AGM, and elect Member Nominated Directors and Council Members.

Like every other co-op, we're guided by our values and principles.

Eligibility to vote is based on a 12-month cycle, starting in January each year (some exclusions apply).
