As communicated previously, a new voting system has been established in 2017 to increase the number of members on the UCI Athletes' Commission from 13 to 16. This change will ensure complete men/women parity - which had previously been reserved for the Olympic disciplines - across all eight disciplines of our sport (road, track, BMX, mountain biking, para-cycling, cyclo-cross, trials and indoor cycling).
Nominations The 16 representatives on the Commission shall be elected for a term of four years, from the 2017 UCI Congress to the subsequent UCI Congress in 2021. In order to be eligible, candidates must currently be active or not have retired from the sport more than four years before the election date. Further information, including the eligibility criteria and the application process, can be found here. Applications may be submitted until Wednesday 29th March 2017. Candidates are requested to send their CV to the following address: [email protected]. The final list of candidates will be published on the UCI website five days before the start of the World Championships. The results will also be communicated via www.uci.ch. Elections Elections for the two track representatives - one woman and one man - on the UCI Athletes' Commission will be held at the 2017 UCI Track Cycling World Championships presented by Tissot in Hong Kong, on Tuesday 11th April during the official training sessions. An appropriate area will be set up at the track centre access points. Any athlete participating in the Elite World Championships is eligible to vote for the two representatives of the relevant discipline.
