Ben Allan is the second of the two member-elected representatives. His term expires on 30 November, 2013.

The ballot will be overseen by Computershare, which has conducted the club’s annual poll for a member-elected director since 2007. Voting club members will receive all information on the election directly from the Fremantle Football Club after it is posted on or about Friday 26 October, 2012.

Voting will be done on-line, with a provision for those voting club members without internet access to call a phone number and have the ballot papers posted to them. Full details of the election procedures and important dates will be posted on fremantlefc.com.au as details come to hand.
