Voting

If you are the Voting Contact for an eligible General Member, voting is as simple as logging into ARIN Online and following the Vote Now link in your dashboard. If you are not the Voting Contact, but your organization is eligible to participate in the election, please encourage your Voting Contact to vote. You can find information on how to view your voting contact on the ARIN website.

Eligibility for this election was determined per the published deadline of 5 September 2022 at 5:00 PM. Voting Contacts for all General Members in Good Standing as of that time are eligible to participate. The Voting Contact listed at the time of the eligibility deadline is the only individual allowed to vote on behalf of an organization. If an organization changed its Voting Contact after 5 September, that individual will not be able to participate until the 2023 election.

Participation in all phases of ARIN Elections is a key responsibility of General Members. Our community’s role is crucial for the process of electing ARIN’s leadership as well as ensuring the continued operation and growth of the Internet.
