Prioritisation Ballot Recommendations

What is the Prioritisation Ballot?

There is never enough time at Conference to debate every motion submitted, so the prioritisiation ballot is members chance to rank the votes they most want heard.

Because of the counting system, it is important for members to rank EVERY motion to give their preferred motions the best chance.

The best way to rank motions is to decide those that you like the most and place them in the top places and those you do not wish to be debated and rank them lowest.  All other motions will fall in the middle.

Green Women's Declaration has prioritised motions that have an impact on women, good governance and the environment. You can read our recommendations below. We have marked them as follows: Red = low priority | Amber = your choice | Green = high priority

There are other good motions but, as GWD, we have our chosen priorities.
