The Election Committee of IAPS is pleased to announce the results of the IAPS Board 2016 election. Eleven candidates were nominated to stand for election, and all paid up members of IAPS were eligible to vote. Each member could vote for a maximum of 4 candidates. The following is a true and accurate report of the election:
Total number of voting forms received: 72
Total number of eligible voting forms: 70
Total number of ineligible voting forms: 2
The number of votes cast for each candidate:
| candidates | votes |
| Tony CRAIG | 51 |
| Henk STAATS | 34 |
| Taciano MILFONT | 27 |
| Adriana PORTELLA | 23 |
| Hulya TURGUT | 23 |
| Karin WEISS | 22 |
| Nathalie JEAN-BAPTISTE | 21 |
| Ellen MATTHIES | 21 |
| Sarah PAYNE | 19 |
| Linda JORDAN | 11 |
| Jennifer SENICK | 10 |
Because two candidates for the fourth position available in the board received an equal number of votes (Adriana Portella and Hulya Turgut), the election committee calculated the total scores of the two ex-aequo candidates, on the basis of the ranking preferences received by each candidate. The results are the following:
Adriana Portella: score 63
Hulya Turgut: score 59
Thus, the following 4 candidates are therefore elected to the IAPS Board.
Tony CRAIG
Henk STAATS
Taciano MILFONT
Adriana PORTELLA
We wish to thank all of you who participated in the election – candidates, nominators and electors.
