Who gets to vote?

The NAFA Bylaws set forth the voting procedures in Article VII. There are two types of votes: Affiliate Club Delegate Votes and Service Votes.

  • Club Votes are earned by clubs based on the club's team entries in tournaments, plus additional votes for hosting tournaments. A club may earn up to 15 votes. This year's votes will be based on the racing year 10/1/23 - 9/30/24. A club must enter at least one team in one event during that racing year to be eligible to vote. The schedule showing votes earned by entries is on page 71 of the current rulebook. Club votes are sent via email to the registered club owner for each club.
  • Service Votes are one vote earned for each form of service to NAFA - approved or supervising judges, regional directors, and NAFA Board members. Service votes will be sent via email to the individual earning the service vote.

How to vote?

Votes will be sent via email to the email address on file for the registered club owner or service voter. Emails will come from BigPulse, which is the online voting system we use. You can double check that your votes have been appropriately assessed by logging into the NAFA Database Public Access.

Ballots must be voted electronically before voting closes January 8, 2025 at midnight Central time.
