Elections for AAVSO Board members are held annually prior to the Annual Meeting. Voting in this election is open only to AAVSO members in good standing.
Meet the Candidates Webinar: To give you the opportunity to meet the candidates online (via Zoom), we are hosting a complimentary webinar on Saturday, October 4, at 18:00 UT (2 p.m. ET). Pre-registration is required.
Voting Procedure
All AAVSO members in good standing as of September 30, 2025, who have an email address in their AAVSO profile will be emailed an invitation that day with a link to vote for new board members to fill the three vacancies. Electronic voting closes at 9:00 AM U.S. Pacific Time on Sunday, November 2.
All AAVSO members in good standing who do not have an email address in their AAVSO profile will receive a paper ballot and pre-addressed and stamped envelope to mail in their votes. Mail-in ballots must be received at AAVSO headquarters one week prior to the electronic voting deadline.
