The five candidates who receive the highest number of votes will be invited to join the Forum and will begin attending monthly meetings from June.

The voting period will run from Friday 21 May to Sunday 6 June (4pm BST) and each supporter can vote only once.

Evertonians were given the opportunity to apply to join the Forum in April, with the tenures of a number of current members due to come to an end this summer.

The results of the vote and the identity of the five new Fans’ Forum members will be announced on evertonfc.com in the week commencing 7 June.

Jazz Bal, Chair of the Everton Fans’ Forum, said: “I hope fans enjoy learning more about the 10 passionate Evertonians who have reached the final stage of this year's recruitment process. I encourage every Blue to vote for those who you feel will represent you and the wider fanbase best.

“This is an exciting time to be a part of the Forum, our members will be working alongside the wider fanbase in communicating thoughts and feelings on football governance to the Club as well as contributing towards our new stadium plans. Your votes will help shape who represents us all over the next three years.

"The standard of applications this year was extremely high, and we've really enjoyed getting to know some of the Blues during the process so far. I wish all the finalists the best of luck and look forward to welcoming them to their first meeting in June."

About the Everton Fans’ Forum

The Everton Fans’ Forum convenes as a full group monthly, acting as a touchpoint between the Club and the wider fanbase to deliver feedback and ideas.

Each Forum member serves a three-year term.

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020, the Fans’ Forum has continued to meet with the Club virtually and play an active role in representing supporter views.

The Forum was consulted on the plans for the safe return of fans to Goodison Park, attending Supporter Safety meetings and a site visit to the stadium, and Blue Family initiatives – including the scheme that saw £400,000 raised for Everton in the Community through 2020/21 Season Ticket refunds.

In recent weeks, the Forum has provided input on Season Ticket options for the 2021/22 campaign and led on consulting with supporters over the future of the game in the wake of the failed breakaway European Super League.

Since 2020, the Forum has had an international presence to represent the views of the Club’s growing global fan base, having introduced its first international member.

In the coming months the Forum will form a new stadium project group that will key in continuing the dialogue with supporters in terms of pricing, the seat allocation process, facilities on offer and other factors important to supporters.
