Why is the election necessary?
The NJMPF Board has a term of five years. As such, every five years, a new Board must be appointed and elected in terms of the Regulations of NJMPF.
​
The process for the election of Board members is detailed in the Regulations of NJMPF.
​
The NJMPF Board is responsible for strategically directing, controlling and overseeing operations of NJMPF in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Board comprises a total of eighteen (18) Board members.
The 18 members of the Board are elected by Active Members and Pensioners. All Active Members and Pensioners have a right to nominate candidates from within their fund. As an example, as a Provident Fund Active Member, you can only nominate another Provident Fund Active Member and a Retirement Fund Pensioner can only nominate another Retirement Fund Pensioner.
The Independent Electoral Officer
NJMPF has appointed KDBS Consulting as an Independent Electoral Officer (IEO) to oversee the election process and to ensure that the elections are free and fair. The appointed IEO's services include administering and overseeing the nomination and election process, capturing the results of the nomination and election process and reporting to appropriate governance structures of the Fund on the outcome of the election process.
