We are Migros
The delegates
How we’re set up
The Assembly of Delegates is the highest governing body within Migros. Its delegates generally meet twice a year to vote on important bills. We’ll show you how our Assembly of Delegates is set up and what its tasks are.
Composition and electoral procedure
In accordance with the statues, the FMC Assembly of Delegates comprises 111 members. A hundred delegates are elected by the regional Cooperatives on the basis of a prescribed quota. Each Cooperative is allocated at least five seats, with the remaining seats being distributed based on the number of members in the two calendar years preceding the elections. In addition, each Cooperative designates an ad hoc representative from its Board of Directors for each assembly meeting. The committee is chaired by an external, independent president.
The number of delegate votes for each Cooperative – as of 1 July 2024 – is distributed as follows (elected delegates per Cooperative):
Working methods and powers
The Assembly of Delegates (AoD) has an Office (Office of the Assembly of Delegates) and also operates two permanent working groups – Migros Aid Fund and Annual Report of the Board of Directors – whose duties and organisation are regulated in the organisational rules of the AoD and in mandates. There is also a facility for setting up ad hoc working groups for temporary assignments.
The principal powers of the AoD include:
Defining and amending the statutes
Electing and dismissing members of the Board of Directors
Passing resolutions on defining and amending Migros’ basic business policy
Taking the decision to dissolve the Federation of Migros Cooperatives (FMC)
Approving the Annual Report and annual financial statements of the FMC
Deciding on the appropriation of the profit for the year
Ratifying the actions of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board
Selecting and appointing the Board of Control
Approval of Migros accounting (Group accounting)
Members of the Assembly of Delegates
In total, our Assembly of Delegates consists of one hundred elected delegates. These were elected by the bodies of the regional cooperatives for a four-year term of office. Together with the ten representatives of the regional administrations of the cooperatives and the President, they form the 111-member Assembly of Delegates.
