About this document

This document lists the networks that are eligible to vote in the 2023 Chair’s election. It also lists organisations that we do not currently have complete details for, and so are ineligible to vote.

It is up to individual networks to determine how they conduct their internal process that determines the candidate they vote for in this election. If your network is listed below and you are a member of an LGBT+ network please contact your departmental network leads for information about how you can participate.

56 eligible networks

This is the list of LGBT+ networks we believe are eligible to vote and that we have a current email address for.

If you believe the contact details for your network are incorrect, please email us at election@civilservice.lgbt as soon as possible, and no later that 19 May 2023 at 09:00.
