If you don't vote, you’ll let others make the decision about who will be the athlete representatives in the sport
It gives you an opportunity to be a part of the decision-making that effects your sporting and non-sporting life on an international level.
This committee will be liaising directly with IJRU to ensure that concerns of all athletes world-wide are addressed. As an IJRU athlete, you should care about who will be speaking on your behalf.
