Members in Scotland & Northern Ireland, Wales & South West England and North Of England regions with MU registered email addresses will receive email invites on Wednesday 21 May from Vote@ukevote.uk.

This is to cast their vote in the online ballot for who represents their region at Delegate Conference in Liverpool on 22-23 July 2025. A ballot isn’t required in the other regions, so you will only receive an invite if you are a member of one of these three regions.

If you have any questions, or are experiencing accessibility issues, you can contact the elections team by email at mu@uk-engage.org or by telephone on 0345 209 3770.
