To the dozens of candidates who did not make it to an NC this time around, we thank you all for participating and hope you’ll continue working with us. DiEM25 needs you and your commitment to make our movement better!
 

Candidacies to the NCs were open to all DiEMers who adhered to basic criteria like how long they have been a member of the movement, and how much time they could give to working on their NC, among others. Similarly, to ensure transparency and a genuine democratic process, voting was open to members that joined the movement before the elections were announced. Additionally, members’ accounts needed to be verified and active, for them to be able to vote. As with all DiEM25´s internal democratic procedures, all transnational votes had equal value and were anonymised upon being cast. Furthermore, our members voted as per our Organising Principles‘ gender-balance policy.
