2024 SIGMA XI ELECTIONS

Active members are encouraged to vote in the Sigma Xi elections starting at 8:00 a.m. ET on November 18, 2024, to determine who will become president-elect, directors, associate directors, and members of the Committee on Nominations. These members will receive an email from elections@vote-now.com on November 18 that contains a ballot and instructions on how to vote online.

All who receive a ballot can vote for the president-elect and other open positions in their region and constituency. Ballots will be personalized with the candidates that pertain to each member.

Active members can identify the region and constituency that they will be voting for by identifying the region and constituency associated with their Sigma Xi chapter. Members who aren't affiliated with a chapter can vote for candidates in the Membership-at-Large Constituency.
