C.O.P.S. has updated the election process to ensure all eligible survivors have an opportunity to participate in selecting national leadership.
The National President will be elected by a nationwide majority vote of eligible members, while Region Trustees will be elected by eligible members within their respective regions. Voting will take place through a secure online system, allowing survivors to participate regardless of location.
Eligible voters must be 18 years or older, registered in the C.O.P.S. National Office database at least 30 days prior to the election, and have a valid email address on file. Each member will receive voting instructions via email and may cast one vote for National President and one vote for their Region Trustee.
All votes must be submitted by July 1, 2026, with a runoff election held if no majority is reached.
