The election categories on the annual election ballot reflect what the voting member is eligible to vote for.
The absence of a category for Region Delegate/Director or Division Delegate/Director on your ballot indicates that no election is being conducted in the organizational unit(s) for the current election year.
For all categories, voting eligibility is determined on 30 June of the election year.
The IEEE Annual Election balloting starts on 15 August 2022 and ends at 12:00 p.m. ET (1600 UTC-04) on 3 October 2022.
