EAPC Rules of Governance: eligibility criteria

Rules of governance have now replaced the EAPC 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 EAPC election application process and voting will be carried out in accordance with the ESC bylaws.

Only EAPC members having settled their dues 6 months ahead of an election (i.e when the call for applications opens) and still member when the voting platform opens, have voting rights.
