Political lists, each with their own key issues
You can run on one of IDA's existing political lists ('parties'), or you can create a new list if you see a completely different path for IDA.
A political list is a group of IDA members with common interests and key issues. They join forces to nominate candidates for the Board of Representatives.
Each electoral list is headed by a list coordinator. Click here for an overview of all the electoral lists (In Danish).
The IDA Election: What's it all about?
The Board of Representatives is IDA's parliament
You can compare the Board of Representatives to the Danish Parliament (Folketing). It is composed of a number of electoral lists (parties), each with their own key issues.
The 65 elected members of the Board of Representatives elect the President of IDA and appoints IDA’s Executive Committee, which is responsible for managing IDA. Together, they lay down the strategy for IDA as:
- A trade union working for a good framework for members' lives
- A professional community seeking to inspire and develop members
- An interest group being part of creating a better future
