The 2026 election process for The Florida Bar Board of Governors is underway. The Florida Bar uses an independent elections service, Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS), to administer the vote.

To ensure receipt of voting-related emails, members should add noreply@directvote.net as an approved sender through their IT department. Members who do not receive an election-related email should contact support@directvote.net. Members who have provided The Florida Bar with a law firm email address that is not unique to them, such as a shared inbox, will not receive emails from SBS.

On January 5, all eligible members in good standing with unique email addresses received an email from SBS asking whether they prefer to vote by paper ballot. That email included instructions on how to make the selection. Members who did not receive the email and/or prefer to vote by paper ballot should email Election@Floridabar.org.
