EAPCI Rules of Governance: eligibility criteria

EAPCI Rules of Governance have now replaced the EAPCI Constitution (validated by the ESC Board on 25 August 2023). ESC Associations rules of governance are included in Annex V of the ESC Bylaws, approved by ESC Board in December 2024. As a result of a 2-year review as approved by the 2022-2024 ESC Board, they were revised and approved by the ESC Board on 28 August 2025.
The EAPCI election application process and voting will be carried out in accordance with the ESC bylaws.

Voting Rights

The minimum seniority for EAPCI Members to obtain voting rights is six months before the opening of the call for applications. Only EAPCI Members having settled their dues six months ahead of an election (i.e. when the call for applications opens) and who are still a member when the voting platform opens, have voting rights.

For more information, refer to the ESC Bylaws or please contact the EAPCI at eapci@escardio.org if you have any questions.
