All paying members are eligible for the office. Self-nominations are not allowed, and all nominations must be seconded by another EGPRN member (not the candidate).

The election will take place during the meeting of the Council next 17 October 2024 in Budapest-Hungary. Only the members of the Council and Executive Board members have the right to vote.

The Chairperson Elect co-operates with the outgoing Chairperson (under the latter' s leadership ) to ease and guarantee the process of continuity
