Voting Delegations
As per ALDE Party statutes, delegation lists close one week prior to the Council Meeting.
The deadline for closure of delegations is Wednesday 13 March at 12:00 CET.
After this time, International Officers will still be able to validate the attendance of delegates from their parties, but will no longer be able to allocate voting rights or make changes to their delegations. The ALDE Party Bureau can allow for changes to delegations in exceptional circumstances such as flight cancellation, sickness or unforeseen political developments.
A complete delegation list showing number of voting delegates per party can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.

These must relate to current or recent political events or to topical issues that have occurred since the last meeting of the ALDE Party Council (22 October 2023 in Bucharest, Romania).
Draft urgencies may not exceed 300 words. The Council shall decide which draft urgency resolutions to debate, after considering the recommendation by the Bureau.
Draft urgency resolutions must be submitted to the online platform.

Urgency resolution Working Group
Submitted urgency resolutions will be circulated to member parties and will be subject to discussion during a working group during which registered delegates can present oral amendments for discussion and adoption.
Further organisational information will follow in due course.
