2026 ESMTB Board Election
The election results clearly identify five candidates elected to the ESMTB Board. A tie for the sixth position prevents us from identifying a sixth elected candidate. The Statutes do not explicitly address this situation. They do, however, provide for a Board of ten members, with five seats filled by election every three years.
In its capacity as the body responsible for interpreting the Statutes, the Board has therefore decided to elect five members in this round. The next election will choose 5 candidates to be in agreement with the Statutes, allowing temporarily only 9 members in the board for the next 3 years.
New five members to the ESMTB Board (2027-2032):
