Each year, one at-large board seat becomes available as part of our staggered two-year term structure. We're incredibly grateful to Alejandro Moreno for their dedicated service on the board from 2024 to 2026. As their term concludes, we’re excited to invite a new community member to step into this vital leadership role and help shape the future of the Drupal project.

Nomination Process
Candidates for the open community at-large board position should be self-nominated. This prevents electing candidates who have the support of the community, but who are unable or unwilling to serve. If community members feel a particular member would make a great board member, they should encourage that individual to nominate themselves. Community members who are of marginalized identities are highly encouraged to self-nominate.
Drupal community members who meet the eligibility criteria should self-nominate for this year's elections, using this form.
Upon receiving your nomination, Drupal Association staff will create a candidate page on Drupal.org reflecting the answers submitted in your form. You will then be assigned as the author of that page, allowing you to easily modify or add more information to support your candidacy.
Nominations open on 16 June at 00:00 UTC and close 30 June at 23:59 UTC. Nominations sent outside this window will not be considered.
