Who are we?

The Association is a not for profit organisation, which has been built on a foundation of seeking excellence for electoral service practices.

Founded in 1987, the Association has since made rapid progress in establishing itself as the professional body to represent the interests of electoral administrators in the United Kingdom. The Association now has over 1600 members, primarily being election experts with some affiliate members.

The Association has forged relationships with other international organisations which has allowed further areas of growth, expertise and experience to develop and flourish.

The organisation is now heavily involved in consultation on an electoral modernisation programme. Commercial activities providing training, ballot and consultancy services are a rapid growth area.

One of the great values of the AEA has been the network of contacts which has been forged and developed all over the country with the positive benefit that help is never more than a telephone call away. The opportunity to share common experiences for the benefit of all the members and for the wider professional interest is a constant source of support and encouragement to members at all levels.

This networking has also been extended to other countries. The contacts which have been made between the AEA and other international organisations and at a personal level by individual members have allowed further areas of growth, expertise and experience to develop and flourish.

Executive members and officers are involved in a variety of working groups and forums with Government Departments (including Ministers) and the Electoral Commission.

The introduction of formal qualifications has further enhanced the profile of the Association and a training strategy enables Members to become expert in their field of work.
