<blockquote type="cite">The next election for three seats to the
2026-27 cycle is planned for
August of next year. All Sugar Labs members may vote, and
members can
run for election to the Board of Directors, vote in the
elections for
the Board of Directors, and suggest referenda. As indicated in
the
<a href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Governance">Sugar
Labs Inc. bylaws</a>, anyone with “significant and sustained”
contributions to Sugar Labs is eligible for membership. If you
believe
you qualify for membership based on this criteria and are
interested
in <a href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members">becoming
an official member of Sugar Labs</a>, you are encouraged
to send an email to <a href="mailto:members@sugarlabs.org"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">members@sugarlabs.org</a>. And
if you were a member
in the past, but <a
href="https://www.sugarlabs.org/community/2024/11/22/elections-extension/">did
not vote in this election</a>, you will need to
reapply for membership in order for your membership status to be
reinstated. (If you voted in this election, no further action is
required.) Registering for membership early will help ensure
that you
will be ready for the next election.</blockquote>
