The slates of candidates for the 2013 elections to Council and Nominating Committee will be listed on this page when they are available.  It is expected that the Nominating Committee slates will appear here on or about 1st August.

2.  Direct Nominations

The formal deadline set out in the LMS By-laws for direct nominations is 1st September at noon.  Any direct nominations for either Council or Nominating Committee must be sent to the Executive Secretary of the London Mathematical Society, De Morgan House, 57-58 Russell Square, London, WC1B 4HS, to be received no later than noon on 1st September 2013.

A form for making direct nominations is available.

Members considering making a direct nomination should note that this form is for convenience only and there is no obligation to use this.  Nominations and seconding statements may be sent by post or e-mail (from an individual's verifiable e-mail address).  PDF scans of documents are also acceptable.

Direct nominations must include:

  • The name of the nominee, and their acceptance of the nomination.
  • A nominator.
  • Three seconders.
  • The role for which the nominee is nominated.

The nominee, proposer and all seconders must be members of the LMS in good standing.  The LMS By-Laws also specify that, at the time of their service, members of Council must be resident in the UK.

Where a proposal, seconding statement or nomination acceptance are provided by e-mail, this must come from individual's verifiable e-mail addresses and must state to which nominee and role the statement refers.

All candidates will be asked to provide standard biographical information which will be distributed to the voters.  Candidates are also encouraged to, make a 200 word personal statement to be submitted with their biography.
