Vote is your Voice

The election for the director candidates is held every three years in the Japan Society of International Development. All members, including student members, have the right to vote. Next election will be held in May 2023.

The primary mission of the Election Administration Committee is to prepare and manage the Society’s election to be conducted in a fair and smooth manner for our members.

Corresponding to the new slogan of this current (11^th) Executive Committee – Visible, Inclusive, and Entertaining – the Election Administration Committee will also carry out public relations activities to raise the visibility of the election system and the roles of the directors. We hope to devise ways to encourage more members to become interested in the management of the society.
