Who Can Vote

All voting for the National PTA 2026 Annual Convention will be during the in-person Convention. If you are not a member of National PTA governance as defined in the National PTA Bylaws Article XII, in order to be eligible to vote during convention business and elections, a state PTA must select you as a voting delegate.

You must fully complete your registration (including full payment) by midnight (PDT), May 29 to be considered for voting status. If you have questions about becoming a voting delegate, contact a state PTA. You will be notified on June 9 if you have been selected by a state PTA as a voting delegate. Only in-person attendees of the 2026 Annual Convention can be credentialed and will be eligible to vote.



Elections

Consistent with the Elections Policy, as outlined in the Governance Policy Manual, individuals wishing to self-nominate must have been considered by the NLRC through the Letter of Interest and only those candidates whom the NLRC has considered and declined to nominate are eligible for self-nomination.
