Voting has now closed in the Equity Committee elections 2025.
Equity, the trade union representing more than 48,000 professionals in the entertainment industry — including actors, singers, dancers, comedians, variety artists, stage management, creative team members & supporting artists have now elected its industrial, equalities and national committees for the 2025-27 term.
This election marked a historic moment with a record 230 nominations and, for the first time ever, all 16 committees having been contested.
A total of 3,076 votes were cast, representing 6.28% of the Equity membership. A full list of those elected can be found further down this page.
After a record number of nominations, and every committee contested, every candidate focused on a united, fighting union should be congratulated.
Paul W Fleming, Equity General Secretary
Paul W Fleming, Equity General Secretary, said:
“From pay and pensions to access riders and dignity at work, Equity’s committees drive our industrial agenda.
“After a record number of nominations, and every committee contested, every candidate focused on a united, fighting union should be congratulated.
“The President, officers, Council, and I look forward to working with the new committees to build a culture of resistance, and achieve big wins, for every Equity member.”
Thank you to all who stood in these elections, and to those who have now completed their terms, for their valued service. Congratulations to all those elected.
