PDGA Election Ballots Sent: Now's the Time to Get Involved
Date Published
The countdown has begun for the PDGA Elections, with over half of the ballots sent out to eligible members now returned. As the voting period enters its final stretch, the Professional Disc Golf Association is calling on its 51,791 members to exercise their right to shape the future of the sport by casting their votes.
As of the latest update, an impressive 7,103 PDGA members have taken part in the month-long election process, which will see the selection of two new Board of Directors members and several State and Provincial Coordinators. This represents a significant increase from the first week's tally, with 1,734 more votes cast than initially reported.
While progress has been made in terms of participation rates, the PDGA is keen to surpass its previous benchmarks. The current turnout stands at 13.71%, which falls short of the highs achieved in 2018 (15.39%) and 2017 (15.3%). With just a few weeks remaining before voting closes on July 31, the association is urging all eligible members to take part.
For those who may have missed their ballot or misplaced it, there's still time to get involved. If you're yet to receive your ballot, don't worry – simply check your inbox for messages from Intelliscan, the election house, and look out for emails titled "Vote Now in the 2020 PDGA Elections" or "2020 PDGA Elections - REMINDER". You can also search your spam folder if you're unsure.
If you've lost track of your ballot or need a replacement, PDGA Memberships Manager Vic Allen is on hand to assist. Contact him directly and he'll ensure you receive the necessary materials to cast your vote.
As voting comes to a close on July 31, the PDGA appreciates all those who have already participated in this year's elections. Encourage your fellow members to do the same – after all, every voice counts in shaping the future of disc golf!
