Who should complete this form?

This nomination form should only be accessed by CPA Branch Secretaries and other individuals responsible for coordinating parliamentary engagement with the CPA. The link to the form should not be shared with anyone else.

The final deadline for submission of nominations is Friday 13 September 2024 (23:59 GMT+1).

What information will I need to complete this form?

To complete this form, you will need to:

• provide the contact details for the individual completing the nominations for the Branch
• provide the name, role, email address and gender for each of the nominations
• consider the allocated numbers applicable to your Branch
• consider the gender balance of the overall delegation when submitting nominations

CPA Constitution: In determining Branch delegates each Branch shall ensure that at least one third of its delegation to the General Assembly are women except only where it is impossible to do so, either by virtue of the composition of the legislature itself or limitations arising due to a single CPC delegate entitlement or otherwise.

[Where ‘one third’ is not a whole number, the number should be rounded up or down to the nearest whole – e.g., one third of four would be one and one third of five would be two].

• consider the maximum number of additional persons you can include in your delegations 
  • A national Branch = 3x parliamentary observers and 2x accompanying officials
  • A subnational Branch = 2x parliamentary observers and 1x accompanying official

Please refer to the Information Circular for additional information.
