The 6 month freeze date was determined by the National Executive Committee (the elected >body that oversees the Labour Party) and is normal for internal selections.

Members who joined after 12 January can still take part in the leadership election by registering as supporters before 5pm on Wednesday 20 July, paying £25 and agreeing to our terms and conditions.

Members in Arrears:

Any member who is currently in arrears, who was a member on or before 12 January 2016, has until noon on Monday 8 August to bring their membership payments up to date. You can renew online at renew.labour.org.uk from 5pm Wednesday 20 July.

2015 Registered Supporters:

If you were a registered supporter in 2015 you will not receive a vote unless you re-register as a supporter or you fulfil the conditions of either a member (see above) or an affiliated supporter (see below). You will need to register as supporter before 5pm on Wednesday 20 July, paying £25 and agreeing to our terms and conditions.

If you were a registered supporter and subsequently joined as a member before 12 January 2016 and are currently fully paid up, you do not need to re-register to vote.

2015 Affiliated Supporters:

If you were an affiliated supporter in 2015, are still on the electoral register and still a member of your affiliated organisation, you will receive a ballot in this leadership election.
