Nomination and elections for two board seats

The board of PME has several representatives. They represent employers and employees in our sector, but also everyone who receives a pension from PME. On 1 July 2026, the term of the two board members who represent people receiving a pension will expire. Candidates for those two seats could be nominated until 15 November 2025.  

Election procedure and appointment of board members 

The election commission, made up of four board members, assesses the nominated candidates for suitability. The assessment is based on the profile, the CV, the motivation and a personal interview. An external knowledge test is part of the assessment. 

After the election commission has made a positive suitability assessment, a pre-employment screening takes place. This screening is performed by an external party. If the pre-employment screening does not result in increased integrity risks, the candidate is placed on the list of candidates. 

The objective of the strict assessment of both suitability and integrity is to ensure that all eligible candidates are able to pass the mandatory test by the regulator, De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB). A similar procedure is followed for all PME board members. 

Possible elections in April 2026 

If the list of candidates has more than two candidates, elections will be held in April 2026. Anyone receiving a pension from PME may then vote for their favourite candidate. The two candidates with the most votes will be appointed by the PME board. This is subject to the condition that they receive approval from the regulator, DNB. 

If the list of candidates has two candidates, the candidates are elected automatically, subject to the condition that they receive approval from the regulator, DNB. 

Following DNB approval, the elected candidates will be appointed as board members with effect from 1 July 2026.
