Election details: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ The nomination period officially begins Feb 04, 2026 23:45 UTC. Please read the stipulations and timelines for candidates and electorate contained in these governance documents[1][2][3]. Due to circumstances of timing, PTL and TC elections for the coming cycle will run concurrently; deadlines for their nomination and voting activities are synchronized but will still use separate ballots. Please note, if only one candidate is nominated as PTL for a project team during the PTL nomination period, that candidate will win by acclaim, and there will be no poll. There will only be a poll if there is more than one candidate stepping forward for a project team's PTL position. Similarly, there will only be a TC poll if there are more than 5 candidates stepping forward the available TC positions. All members of the community are encouraged to confirm their email address as described at: https://governance.openstack.org/election/#electorate All candidates and prospective voters need to make sure they have reestablished their individual memberships in the Open Infrastructure Foundation https://openinfra.org/a/renew-membership (if this URL redirects you to your profile page, your membership is already renewed and nothing more is required), otherwise their nominations won't be verified and ballots will not be sent. There will be further announcements posted to the mailing list as action is required from the electorate or candidates. This email is for information purposes only. If you have any questions which you feel affect others please reply to this email thread. If you have any questions that you wish to discuss in private please email any of the election officials[4] so that we may address your concerns.
