Published on: Friday, June 20, 2025

Voting is now open for the OPTN runoff election and election of Board officers. All Board officer positions will appear on the ballot for this election. Voting will remain open until Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Voting members should have received an email on June 20, 2025, with a voting link and instructions.

Following the conclusion of the national election, a tie occurred in the races for (1) the third OPO Representative on the OPTN Board of Directors and (2) the Associate Regional Councillor for Region 8. To resolve these ties, HRSA is conducting a runoff election for both positions. In addition to the runoff election, the ballot will include a slate for election of all Board officers (president, vice president, vice president of patient and donor affairs, treasurer, and secretary). The candidates for Board officers will be members of the newly elected Board of Directors.

Personal statements for the nominees are available on the OPTN Special Election web page.
