IEEE ELECTION
Countdown to the
IEEE Annual Election
ON 1 MAY the IEEE Board of
Directors is scheduled to announce
the candidates to be placed on this
year's ballot for the annual election of
officers-which begins on 15 August.
The ballot includes IEEE presidentelect
candidates and other officer
positions up for election, as well as
a proposed amendment to the IEEE
Constitution.
The Board of Directors has
nominated Life Fellow Thomas
Coughlin and Senior Members
Kathleen Kramer and Maike Luiken as
candidates for 2023 IEEE presidentelect.
IEEE Life Fellow Kazuhiro
Kosuge is seeking nomination by
petition for the position. Visit the IEEE
elections page (ieee.org/elections)
to learn about the candidates and
petitioner, as well as the petition
process and petition(s) available for
members to sign.
The ballot includes nominees
for delegate-elect/director-elect
openings submitted by division and
region nominating committees, IEEE
Technical Activities vice presidentelect,
IEEE-USA president-elect, and
IEEE Standards Association board of
governors members-at-large.
IEEE members who want to run
for an office but who have not been
nominated need to submit their
petition intention to the IEEE Board of
Directors. Petitions should be sent to
the IEEE Corporate Governance staff:
elections@ieee.org.
Those elected take office on 1 January
2023.
The Board of Directors voted at
its November meeting to propose an
amendment to the IEEE Constitution
to be part of the 2022 IEEE annual
election. The proposal, if adopted,
would change the member-initiated
constitutional amendment petition
requirement by establishing greater
member support for member-initiated
petitions before ballot placement and
enhancing membership's global voice in
proposing constitutional changes.
Members are encouraged to
participate in the online forum
discussion (ieee-collabratec.ieee.org/app/
community/1355/Draft-ConstitutionalAmendment-Nov-2021/activities).
To
ensure voting eligibility, members
are encouraged to review and update
their contact information (ieee.org/
go/my_account) and communication
preferences (ieee.org/electionpreferences)
by 30 June.
Given ever-changing global conditions,
members might wish to vote
electronically instead of by mail.
For more information about the
offices up for election, the process of
getting on the ballot, and deadlines,
