Deadlines for Labour conference 2026

CLP meetings in June 2026 will consider nominations for NEC, Women’s Committee, etc., and decide 2026 conference delegates (unless decided earlier by CLP AGMs, as is practice in some CLPs). Those nominations have to be sent in by 26 June.

LLI urges nominations for the Reset Labour slate for the NEC plus Jess Barnard, and the Labour Women United slate for the Women’s Committee. And CLPs to elect delegates who are in line with CLP policy and who are strong and assertive enough to speak up if the CLP’s motion is ruled out of order, or looks like being gutted in a composite.

CLPD is pushing some good rule changes. Those have to be submitted by 26 June (same deadline as for nominations and delegate selection), and then may be debated at 2027 conference. If your CLP chooses to submit one of those, it can’t also send in a (“contemporary”) motion.

The deadline for CLPs and affiliated organizations to submit contemporary motions is 5pm on Thursday 11 September 2026, so most CLPs will decide Labour conference motions later. They have to be “contemporary”, i.e. refer to events since some cut-off date probably in July, so no-one is even drafting template motions yet. You will probably need to get your CLP to fix a special meeting in early September to adopt a motion.

LP conference is 26-30 September in Liverpool, and we’ll want an LLI team there. Email us lableftint@gmail.com if you’re interested in coming to help.
