In recent years, almost all presidents have been nominated following many years' service to the Society, although some have been nominated to mark their eminence in society generally, such as <a href="/wiki/Harold_Wilson" title="Harold Wilson">Harold Wilson</a>. </p><p>Nominations for president are received by the society's Nominating Committee. <sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The committee recommends at least one fellow to Council who, at a meeting, agree a preferred candidate or candidates. If only one preferred candidate is selected, the Fellowship are given four weeks to offer an alternate candidate. </p><p>There has only been one contested election in the Society's history, in 1977.
