Election overview

As Intersect continues to evolve, October 2024 marked a historic moment with our first-ever full-scale elections for our committees and governing board. This significant milestone, achieved with the active participation of our global community, reflects the spirit of inclusivity and collaboration that underpins our organization.

7,244 votes were cast by 574 unique voters, representing a 37% participation rate from our members.

Upcoming elections in April 2025

As we look ahead to the next round of elections in April 2025, we will conduct a thorough retrospective on this process, inviting feedback from members to refine our approach and ensure continuous improvement.

Moreover, those who were unsuccessful in this election will be invited to contribute to upcoming working groups, special interest committees, and other community-led initiatives. Intersect is an open organization, and your involvement is vital to the continued success of Intersect and Cardano.
