You should establish a project team to support you in carrying out your functions and in delivering a well-run election. In addition to yourself, your project team should include any appointed deputies, other election staff members, BROs in your constituency and the Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) in your constituency (where they are not also the BRO).
It should also include any other key personnel you consider appropriate such as:
your council’s communications team
the Greater London Returning Officer (GLRO)
other CROs
HR colleagues
finance colleagues
IT
your contact centre/front of house staff
facilities staff
your local Police single point of contact (SPOC)
The project team should have a clear remit and understanding of the tasks to be carried out. You should prepare a schedule of meetings at the planning stage, and keep a record of each meeting as an audit trail of what was discussed and of any decisions made. Where possible, the CRO should chair any project team meetings.
