Voting is now open in the 2026 BASC Council elections, giving you the opportunity to influence the future direction of the association.

There are three candidates standing for one England seat and two candidates standing for one Wales seat. As such, this year you will only be eligible to vote if you are a BASC member residing in England or Wales respectively. All votes must be submitted by 6pm on Monday 25 May.

BASC Council plays a pivotal role in setting the strategic direction of the association, ensuring it effectively represents the interests of its members and the broader shooting and conservation community.
