2026 NAPT Election: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How Do I Vote? The 2026 NAPT Board of Directors Election will take place November 16 (starting at 8 a.m. EST) through 20, 2026 (concluding at 4:30 p.m. EST). All eligible voting members in regions with contested elections will receive an email from Association Voting containing a personalized link to cast their ballot electronically.
Additional election details, including voting instructions and important deadlines, will be shared through the NAPT website and email announcements.
Who Is Eligible to Vote? The 2026 NAPT Board of Directors Election includes Regional Director positions for Regions 2, 4, and 6.
Voting eligibility is determined by your NAPT membership and designated region:
- Region 2 Director: Only eligible members in Region 2 may vote.
- Region 4 Director: Only eligible members in Region 4 may vote.
- Region 6 Director: There will not be a formal vote in Region 6 as the candidate is running uncontested and therefore will be elected by acclamation. No ballot will be issued for that position.
What Are the Membership Requirements to Vote? To participate in the 2026 NAPT Board of Directors Election, your membership must be active, fully renewed, and paid in full by 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday, November 13, 2026.
- Pending membership renewals and outstanding invoices do not qualify as active membership.
- All membership dues must be paid in full by the deadline to be eligible to vote.
- Members are responsible for confirming their membership status before the deadline.
- A purchase order does not constitute payment and will not activate or renew a membership. To be considered current and eligible to vote, all outstanding membership invoices must be paid in full by check or credit card before the stated deadline.
Important Reminder: NAPT staff will make every effort to assist members with renewal questions. However, it is each member's responsibility to ensure their membership is current and paid in full before the deadline. We strongly encourage members to renew early to avoid any issues with voting eligibility.
