Nominations for the new Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) executive are now open, with the big day, the voting congress set for November 4 at the Sandals Beach Resort in Negril.

While there have been no nominations put forward so far, according to article 7 of the JFF by-laws all candidates who will be eligible for the positions of president, first, second and third vice-president, treasurer and executive officer, must have their names submitted by three members of three separate parish associations to the JFF general secretary at least 60 days before the congress. Also in accordance with that statute the general secretary will then have 30 days to forward the names of all the candidates to the various parish associations.

Delegates

The delegates voting at the congress will be made up of all affiliates of the JFF plus the members of the outgoing board. A closer look at the list shows each parish association allowed five delegates, with of course the exception of (Kingston and St Andrew, Football Association) KSAFA who will have the usual 10. The other affiliated JFF groups will have two representatives each with life members of the JFF also allowed a vote. The list of delegates must be submitted to the general secretary by Friday, October 19 with changes allowed up to 12 noon on Friday, November 2.
