Dear members,

This is a reminder to register to vote in the upcoming AFRINIC elections if you have not yet done so. As a quick recap, here is what you need to do to register to vote online:

1. A director, or similar authority at your organisation, will need

to take a letter designating an e-voting representative to a Notary to be certified. Here is a template to use for that letter:

*Designation of an e-voting representative for [company name]*

To Whom It May Concern,

This letter serves to designate the following person as *[company name]*’s e-voting representative for the upcoming AFRINIC Board elections:

• Full name: *[representative’s full n*ame]
• Representative’s ID number:
• Email address: *[representative’s email address]*
• Contact number(s): *[representative’s phone number(s) in intl.

format, +27…]*

I hereby attest that I hold the authority on behalf of *[company name]* to designate the above e-voting representative. I confirm that the above email address is the correct address to send *[company name]*’s secure e-voting link to.

This letter is accompanied by an up-to-date copy of the e-voting representative’s ID document and has been signed in the presence of a Notary, who has certified it.

Yours sincerely,

*[to be signed in the presence of the Notary]*

*[name of the authorising person]*

*[position of the authorising person]*

*[company name]*

2. Take the letter, as well as a copy of the e-voting

representative’s ID document to a Notary to be certified. Bear in mind that there will likely be a modest cost associated with this step. *Note: **AFRINIC has confirmed* https://afrinic.net/ast/2025/Final_FAQ.pdf * that the letter does not to be apostilled.*

3. Scan the letter together with the notarial certificate and the

ID copy, and send the scanned documents to elections2025@afrinic.net before midnight on 2nd June 2025.
