Last month the Foundation of Hearts announced the seven candidates that would stand for election to the organisation's board.

There are three spaces available with Louise Strutt and Andrew Brown standing down from the board while chairman Gerry Mallon is standing for re-election.

Mallon is one of the seven candidates, alongside Heart of Midlothian ambassador Gary Locke, Diane Scougall, Dougie Shirlaw, Claire Hammond, Paul Butler and James Sloggie.

Hearts Standard spoke to all seven candidates last week and a link to each of those interviews can be found below. We have tried to cover the main areas of pledgers and non-pledgers from fans as well as matters relating to each of their election addresses.

Where possible in each interview, we've added a link to the social media of each candidate who is on X/Twitter should you want to ask anything else or seek further clarity on points.

Voting opened on November 1 and will run until 5pm on December 1. Members are able to vote for three candidates. All votes have to be cast at the same time. If you submit a vote for one candidate you can't return to submit a vote for two other candidates at a later date.

If you are a Foundation member and have not received an email allowing you to vote, email pledgeverify@foundationofhearts.org.
