About the DA Election Process

The online election process for District Administrators begins with nominations from active leagues within the district. Note district leagues are not eligible to participate in the process. Nominations will be open for at least seven (7) days. Multiple nominations can be made by a league or individual and an individual may nominate themselves. A current District Administrator cannot nominate themselves. An individual only has to be nominated once.

Upon nomination, the individual will receive an email directing them to complete biographical form to accept the nomination. If a nominee is declining, he/she may reply to the email or select no under accept nomination on the biographical form. If an individual is nominating themselves, he/she will complete the bio form before submitting.

Once the nomination and biographical form submission period has passed, the election/voting will take place. Only accepted nominees will be listed on the ballot. Each active league in the district will be able to cast one vote. A league may also abstain. A majority of the leagues in the district must vote. If there are multiple nominees, the individual (nominee) with a majority of the votes cast will be elected as district administrator.

The term of a district administrator is four years and an election schedule rotates through districts by number. New terms begin on October 1. In some cases, an election may be held to elect a replacement to fill the remainder of the term.
