THE Newport County AFC Supporters’ Trust has launched the election process to fill five vacant positions on the Supporters Trust board.

Current elected directors Mike Everett, Shaun Johnson and Gavin Foxall are due to stand down from the board by rotation at this election, although all can stand for re-election should they so wish.

If the number of valid candidates is the same or less than the number of vacancies then they are to be elected unopposed.

Potential candidates must have been fully paid-up members of the Trust on June 20, 2019.

Potential candidates can download nomination and candidate statement forms at ncafctrust.org.

In order to allow as many Trust members as possible to vote in person there will be the opportunity to vote at both the Mansfield Town and Plymouth Argyle home games in August. There will also be an option to vote by post.

To be eligible to vote, you must have been a fully paid-up member of the Trust on June 20, 2019.

The closing date for the submission of candidate nomination forms is July 15, while supporting statements must be received by July 19.

The list of candidates will be published on July 22.

Voting will take place on August 3 and August 17, when County host Mansfield Town and Plymouth Argyle respectively, while postal votes must be received by August 16.
