New APSA Council Members Elected

Abstract

Eight new members of the APSA Council have been elected in APSA's fourth contested election in recent years. The new Council members are: Lisa Baldez, Dartmouth College; Susan R. Burgess, Ohio University; Dennis Chong, Northwestern University; Michael W. Doyle, Columbia University; Kerry L. Haynie, Duke University; Arthur Lupia, University of Michigan; Anna Sampaio, University of Colorado, Denver; and Melissa S. Williams, University of Toronto. André Blais, Université de Montréal, was not elected. Under APSA election rules, the APSA Nominating Committee proposes one name per open seat and additional nominations, sponsored by at least 10 members, may be made from the membership. This year, Susan Burgess, Ohio University, was nominated from the membership and was elected. The election was conducted by electronic ballot, with a 31% turnout—similar to other recent APSA elections. Detailed results can be found at http://apsanet.org/section_710.cfm.
