The Chairman of the Hanoverian Union is the chief administrative officer of the Executive Council of the Hanoverian Union, the legislative body of the Hanoverian Union, a politico-economic union comprising the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Formed in line with the organisation's founding in 1946, the chairman is the executive head of the organisation as a whole, tasked with the day-to-day governance of the organisation through its legislative body, known as the Executive Council. Since its foundation, the office of chairman has traditionally rotated among the organisation's three member states every five years in which the role is usually held by the chosen country's deputy prime minister with the current officeholder being Jacqueline Smith, the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Given that the office traditionally rotates between the organisastion's three member states every five years, there is therefore no fixed residence for the chairman, with the designated residence often depending on the country chosen for the chairmanship at any given moment, with the current chairman's residence being 11 Downing Street in London.
