How it works
Local Momentum groups, unaffiliated campaigning organisations, and affiliated organisations/trade unions can all submit policy motions to be part of the Primary.
After compositing and shortlisting, the resulting motions will move to a one-member-one-vote ballot, where every Momentum member will rank their favourites.
The most popular 8 motions will be chosen for Momentum’s 2021 conference mobilisation.
If we’re going to change the Labour Party and the country, we need to make the big decisions about the future of our movement together.
