Labour to decide on whether to switch to single transferable vote system for NEC elections
LABOUR’s ruling body will decide tomorrow on whether it should switch to a preferential voting system for electing constituency party representatives on its national executive committee (NEC).
NEC members will discuss scrapping the first-past-the-post system for selecting its nine constituency Labour Party (CLP) reps and replacing it with the single transferable vote (STV) method.
If the issue goes to a vote, the switch is expected to be favoured by a majority of NEC members.
