the Election Committee

The Election Committee manages the candidacies of the Socialist Party of Iceland for parliament and municipal councils and is responsible for selecting candidate lists using methods approved at a general meeting or membership meeting, formulates an election strategy based on the party's policies, and conducts election campaigns for parliament and municipal councils.

Candidate lists shall be approved by the Socialist Congress (Sósíalistaþing) or a membership meeting, and the election strategy by a joint meeting of all the party's boards. The Election Committee may form sub-groups and -committees to handle election monitoring, election committees in individual constituencies and municipalities, and other groups if deemed necessary.

The Election Committee shall manage political debate on the party's website, train the party's spokespersons, organize political meetings, and engage in discussion about the policies and priorities of the Socialist Party of Iceland on a broad platform.

The Election Committee is elected at the Socialist Congress and shall consist of 9 principal members and 4 alternates. It distributes tasks among itself but shall include a chairman, vice-chairman, and secretary.

When forming the Election Committee, it is permitted to elect an interim board at the general meeting 2024, which is tasked with shaping the work and submitting proposals for the form of list selection for a membership meeting in the spring. The general meeting 2024 will define the mandate of the interim board upon its election.

• Paragraphs on Ministries and the Government Offices and Candidacy, elected representatives, the Election Committee (Kjörnefnd) and the Election Committee (Kjörstjórn) were removed from the party's structure.
• In the article Eligibility for Board Membership, one and a half sentences were added: On the one hand: … or in individual project boards or -groups that fall under boards. On the other hand: An elected board member on one board can attend meetings of other boards as an observer.
• The article is then as follows:

Eligibility for Board Membership A member can at any time only sit on one elected board (the Executive Board (Framkvæmdastjórn), the Membership Board (Félagastjórn), the Action Committee (Baráttstjórn), the Policy Board (Málefnastjórn), or the Election Committee). A member's seat on an elected board does not exclude them from sitting on a randomly selected board (for example, the Confidentiality Council (Samviska), the Election Committee (Kjörnefnd), or Policy Groups) or in individual project boards that fall under boards. Nor does a seat on one randomly selected committee exclude a seat on another randomly selected committee. However, a committee member of the Confidentiality Council shall recuse themselves from discussions about disputes to which they are a party, and the Confidentiality Council shall decide whether it is necessary for the person concerned to withdraw entirely from the committee. An elected board member on one board can attend meetings of other boards as an observer.

Each member shall not serve as a principal member and alternate for more than twelve years on each board and shall not hold chairmanship on each committee for more than eight years. A member who is not eligible for one board for these reasons remains eligible for other committees.
