Drupal Association Extends 2026 At-Large Board Election to 17 August

Voting in the Drupal Association’s 2026 At-Large Board Election will remain open until 17 August 2026 at 23:59 UTC after some reminder emails reached voters after the original deadline. Tim Hestenes Lehnen, chief technology officer at the Drupal Association, announced the extension in a Drupal Slack post.

The extension gives eligible voters additional time after the previously published closing time of 14 August 2026 at 23:59 UTC. Drupal.org election information says one of the Association’s two at-large board positions is contested each year, with the role intended to provide community representation on the board.

The Slack announcement says Helios experienced either a mail delivery outage or a queue delay, causing the final two reminder messages to arrive after the deadline for some voters. It advises voters to search for messages from [email protected] and check spam folders for their ballots.
