Dear United Soccer Coaches member:
The 2025 election for the United Soccer Coaches Board of Directors is now open! Every year, several members dedicated to the betterment of our association are nominated to run for the open positions on the Board of Directors.
United Soccer Coaches by-laws currently require all elections for Board of Directors positions to include two to five candidates on the final ballot and utilize a rank order voting method in the selection process. Rank order voting for five candidates allows voters to express their preferences by assigning a numerical ranking to each candidate, ranging from first to fifth. Voters choose their favorite candidate as their first choice, followed by subsequent preferences for the remaining candidates (for ballots to be tabulated ALL candidates must be ranked). Points will be assigned from 1-5, with one point for a first choice, two for a second, and on to five for a fifth. The candidate with the fewest points will be elected.
Such a process ensures that the ultimate winner is acceptable to a broad spectrum of the electorate. This system aims to minimize the risk of vote-splitting and encourages voters to express their genuine preferences, also minimizing the possibility that the person elected wins by a plurality of the votes. Thank you for voting in this important election in the life of our association!
Casting your vote takes only a few moments and is vital to the future growth of our association. Get to know these candidates and cast your vote today.
