Voting in the Labour Leadership Election August-September 2016
If you got a vote in last years labour leadership election you should get a vote this time, but if anything has changed eg your email address then please register as a supporter once again.
If you didn't get a vote last time, as long as you're a UNISON member who joined prior to January 12th and pay into the Affiliated Political Fund or APF/Labour Link, you can get a vote but you must register here
To check if you pay into the UNISON Affiliated Political Fund you can do so online here:
You will need your membership number in order to go to UNISON details.
If you don't pay into UNISON's Affiliated Political Fund/Labour Link you won't get a vote and as the rules stand, changing political funds (from the General Political Fund or GPF to the APF/Labour Link) at this point will not get you a vote either.
However if you are in doubt then please fill in affiliated supporters form anyway.
If you are not eligible for any of the above and are not a Labour Party member who has been a member since before January 12th, the only option to get a vote is to pay £25.
The rate has clearly been set to a price to discourage people from voting and I am far from happy about the cost and will be raising it with the UNISON NEC, however its unlikely that it will changed.
Comradely Regards

Labour Link Officer
