Port Adelaide has introduced on-line voting in 2012 and you can complete this simple process until 5pm on Wednesday 12 December.

To do this, you need login details emailed on Friday 30 November. If you have not received an email and believe you have a right to vote, please contact the club on 1300 GO PAFC (1300 467 232) during office hours.

To vote click here.

Eligible members who requested postal voting material are reminded that their ballot papers must be received by contractor Computershare - in Melbourne - by 5pm on Wednesday, via the reply paid envelope sent with the pack.

If you requested postal ballot material and now wish to vote on-line, please contact the club.

Please note that the Election Rules of the Port Adelaide Football Club stipulate that one member has one vote.

Following the close of voting on Wednesday 12 December 2012 and the counting of votes, Returning Officer, Mr Ken Dyer of Computershare, will provide the Club with the results and the nominee approved by Members will then be notified to the SA Football Commission.

Members can only nominate or approve the nomination of persons for appointment to the PAFC board. The actual appointment of the one (1) person is made by the SA Football Commission following receipt by it of the member nomination.

We will reveal the outcome as early as possible, but this may take a short amount of time given the due diligence required in the counting process and the requirement for the SA Football Commission to review and appoint any member nominee to the board (being one (1) person only in 2012).
