2025 ARM Division seat allocations
ARM is our main policy-forming meeting, where you can discuss, debate and vote on motions which form the policy that directs our association in the year ahead and for the future.
Half of the seats to ARM are allocated to BMA divisions. Elections are conducted via the BMA's online nomination and election system across all division areas in the UK. This means that all BMA members will have the opportunity to nominate and vote in these elections.
