Constitutional emails are where the Labour Party Rulebook requires you to try and contact all members regardless of their normal communication preferences, for instance providing notice of selection meetings.
The party is allowed to contact members with important information about their contractual relationship with us. This includes their rights to have a say in processes like, AGMs, candidate selections, NEC elections, and leadership elections, as laid out in the rulebook.
If you want to contact members who have unsubscribed from regular emails about one of these constitutional processes, you can select “Constitutional Email” when writing a new email and it will bypass the usual filters for communication preferences.
Use of this option is monitored, misusing this option breaks our legal obligation to respect people’s communication preferences and will lead to your Organise access being revoked and a further investigation. If you are unsure whether an email is constitutional please get in touch with the Organise team or your regional office.
Please Note: Unfortunately, if a member is unsubscribed through their email provider, this will usually block constitutional emails as well.
