Description

Upon instruction from its levy payers, AHDB may require the need to undertake a ballot in any one of the six sectors it collects a statutory levy for. In the event of a ballot being triggered, it is AHDBs responsibility to ensure a ballot is undertaken independently to ensure process and results are fair and transparent providing assurance to the sectors.
AHDB anticipates a ballot being requested in its Horticulture sector. Subsequently other ballot requests may be received.

1. Producing ballot materials (paper and electronic)
2. Issuing communication to voters
3. Recording ballot results
4. Formulating report for AHDB containing results for sharing with Ministers
5. Ensuring a fair and compliant process that will surpass Audit inspections.
6. Ability to accommodate an independent witness
