How the Board of Representatives is established
The first election to the Board of Representatives will take place in September 2026.
You can see who is eligible to stand for election in the election regulations – which are available here.
In autumn 2026, elections will be held for all three electoral groups:
- Electoral group A may elect up to 40 representatives to represent the employers
- Electoral group B may elect up to 40 representatives to represent policyholders
- Electoral group C may elect up to 20 representatives to represent customers receiving benefits, including those receiving loss of earning capacity benefits, as well as customers who are not making contributions (paid-up policy)
If you are eligible to stand for election in more than one electoral group, you can choose which electoral group you wish to represent. You may only stand as a candidate in one electoral group.
All customers will receive an e-mail before the registration process begins. If there are more candidates than seats available when the registration deadline expires, an election will be held.
In electoral group A, employers have one vote, the weight of which corresponds to the number of policies in the relevant company’s pension agreement.
All customers will be informed about the election, and in electoral groups B and C, customers have one vote. Votes may be cast for a candidate in the electoral group to which the individual belongs. Candidates standing for election automatically receive their own vote.
The candidates who receive the most votes are elected. In the event of an equality of votes, the outcome will be determined by drawing lots among the tied candidates.
As a general rule, the term of office is three years, although there is a transitional arrangement, which you can read more about here.
