The annual election ballot is due to arrive in members’ mailboxes this month. In addition to the three candidates for 2008 IEEE President-Elect, 39 people are running in 17 election categories in various IEEE divisions and regions, as well as in the IEEE Standards Association, IEEE Technical Activities, and IEEE-USA.

Those on the ballot represent a diverse group of candidates who are dedicated to serving the IEEE membership and, perhaps of equal importance, can afford to devote the time to their prospective responsibilities.

Members who paid their dues in full as of 30 June at member grade or higher are eligible to vote. Graduate student members also may vote.

Completed ballots must be received by noon U.S. Central Time (17:00 Greenwich Mean Time) on 1 November. Members can also access the ballot and related materials electronically. To learn more, visit the election site at http://www.ieee.org/elections.
