National Press Club online voting opens

The National Press Club election is now open for eligible voting members.

This year’s election includes three contested positions: the office of secretary, a 1-year unexpired journalist governor term, and a 3-year communicator governor term. All candidate statements and biographies are available online.

Eligible voting members have received an email from the Club’s secure online voting platform with specific instructions and login credentials for casting their ballot. Please note, these credentials are different from those for your press.org account.

Important Voting Information

Inactive, spousal/partner, student, intern, and honorary members are not eligible to vote. Members delinquent in dues or fees are also not considered in good standing and are not eligible to vote.

Under Club bylaws: 

Journalist members will receive a ballot including officer positions and open journalist governor seats.

Communicator members will receive a ballot including only the open 3-year communicator governor seat.
