Key dates, who can vote, and how the ballot actually reaches you.
Every Scrum Alliance member with an active membership is eligible to vote. That is roughly 200,000 people worldwide. You do not need to hold a trainer or coach credential. A current CSM, CSPO, CSP, or any active SA cert counts.
Pre-check. Log in to your Scrum Alliance profile and confirm the email on file is one you actually read. That is the address the ballot goes to.
The Member-Elected Director seat on the Scrum Alliance Board of Directors. A three-year term starting January 2027.
The role exists to bring the voice of the membership into board-level decisions on strategy, oversight, and mission. One seat. The member community fills it directly.
Scrum Alliance runs the election through an independent third-party voting platform called Balloteer. The email comes from an address ending in @balloteer.com. It contains a unique link for your vote. One link, one ballot, one voter.
This is a common issue every election cycle. The ballot email from @balloteer.com often lands in spam.
So before you assume the system forgot you, search your inbox for balloteer, then check your junk folder, spam, and any quarantine your IT department runs.
Balloteer publishes a self-service URL where you can request your unique voter code using the email address on file with Scrum Alliance. I will add the link here once voting opens on June 10.
One thing to keep in mind. The email you use to request your code has to match the one on your Scrum Alliance profile, so the pre-check in the previous section matters.
If the ballot link never arrives, Balloteer's self-service request fails, and you cannot find a working path to your vote, email Scrum Alliance member support at support@scrumalliance.org. They have resolved missing-ballot issues in prior cycles.
