Europe Regional Representative Election

Candidate Statements and eBallot

Runoff Election Voting Instructions

Thank you to all who participated in the initial election for the Europe Regional Representative to the IAVE Board of Directors. Because the results were exceptionally close, we are now holding a runoff election between the two candidates who received the highest number of votes.

How to Vote

As part of IAVE’s election procedures, all voters must identify themselves to ensure eligibility. Please enter your unique Passcode, which was emailed to you, to cast your vote.

Each member is entitled to one vote. If you are both an individual member and representative of an organizational member, you may vote once in each role, but on separate e-ballots, using two unique passcodes. 

Your participation is essential — this runoff will determine who represents the Europe region on the IAVE Board. Please cast your vote before the deadline.

The deadline for voting is 12:00 EDT (UTC-4) on Friday, June 20, 2025.

Election Rules

  1. Only members currently paid as of April 2, 2025 are eligible to vote.
  2. Nominees must conform to the highest ethical standard of behavior throughout the election process. Candidates are expected to refrain from “negative campaigns” focused on their opponents but rather are expected to emphasize their vision for IAVE in the region and their own plans and qualifications. Candidates found not to be following this guideline may be declared ineligible for election.
