Results of the ERCC Committee elections 2026

 

4 February 2026 We are pleased to announce the 21 individuals that were successfully elected to form the new ERCC Committee. The term of office of the Committee will be approximately two years starting immediately and ending in early 2028, on the day the results of the next ERCC elections are announced. The results are based on 78 valid votes received from ERCC member firms (out of a total of 115 firms eligible to vote).

This was the first election under the new rules and ERCC Terms of Reference (ToR) which were adopted in December 2025. In line with the ERCC ToR, the term of office of the Committee has been increased to two years. The number of seats on the Committee is usually set at 20. However, as there has been a tie in the election for the last seat on the Committee, the number of seats has been increased by one for the 2026-2028 term, equally in line with the new rules.
