The votes from the 2020 PDGA Elections are in and have been counted! The elections took place through the month of July, and ballots were sent to 51,800 eligible members. Of those, 11,821 members voted for a participation rate of 22.82% -- far surpassing 2019's 12.99%.
As we come down the home stretch of this year's PDGA Elections season, here's some good news: nearly 10,000 disc golfers have cast their vote to pick two new members of the PDGA Board of Directors and a slew of State and Provincial Coordinators.
As of press time, 9,893 of the 51,792 ballots sent out have been returned for an impressive 19.1% participation rate. That outpaces voting trends from the last couple years, but we're feeling a little greedy. So, please spread the good word and help us get another 465 votes back in so we can hit that 20% mark. We've got until this Friday, July 31, to do it.
All of the ballots have officially been sent. Now, we're just waiting for more to be returned.
After two weeks of the month-long PDGA Elections, 7,103 members have cast their votes to help select the next two members of the PDGA Board of Directors, as well as several State and Provincial Coordinators. That's up 1,734 from our Week One update.
The PDGA sent ballots to 51,791 members, putting the current participation rate at 13.71%. While that is an improvement on 2019's 12.99%, we're still short on the marks from 2018 (15.39%) and 2017 (15.3%). How about we put those numbers far in the rearview mirror this week?
