USPA will accept applications to be on the ballot March 16 through April 15. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age, be a current USPA member, have at least two years of cumulative USPA membership and be a U.S. citizen or resident. To be placed on the ballot, candidates must submit the required election materials and pay the $50 filing fee to USPA Headquarters at uspa.org/election no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, April 15, 2026. The following, which must be submitted online together, are required:
- Completed Director Candidate Biography form

The special election period will run for two weeks, from June 15 to June 30, 2026, at 5 p.m. Eastern. The elected member will fill the remainder of the term, which extends through 2027. The election winner is expected to attend the USPA Board of Directors Meeting set for August in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
