  • Club representation and voting Each YFC club is entitled to two votes—one for the Club Chair and one for the Club Secretary.
  • County Federation representation and voting Each YFC county federation is entitled to one vote - the County Chair or another named and nominated member of the county executive.

When the final agenda is published, carrying the Motions from YFC clubs, county federations and the NFYFC Council, it will be important for clubs and county federations to hold discussions with the YFC membership regarding the motions on the agenda. This ensures that the officers can effectively represent their club's views during the voting process.
