Elections

To vote in this year's ARIN Elections, organizations must be classified as a General Member in Good Standing as of 5:00 PM ET on Monday, 7 September 2026.

An organization is considered in good standing if it is current on all annual fees and has a valid Voting Contact on record. If you are currently associated with an ARIN General Member, please ensure your organization has no overdue invoices and that a Voting Contact is designated in your account before 7 September.

If you are not sure of your organization's membership status, you can check it in your ARIN Online account by selecting 'Organization Identifiers' under 'Your Records.' You may see several organizations on this screen.

Select the Org Handle for which you want to request General Membership to verify eligibility. If the organization is eligible, the 'Request General Membership' option will be available in the Actions drop-down menu on the Organization Record page. Upon approval, set up a Voting Contact who will be responsible for casting a ballot on behalf of this organization.

Voting in ARIN Elections helps steer the future of Internet number resource policy and Internet governance. We look forward to your organization's participation this October.

Important! Eligible organizations may update their Voting Contact after 7 September, but all changes must be finalized by 3:00 PM ET on 15 October for that Voting Contact to participate in the 2026 ARIN Elections.
