The results of the 2004 Council election have been certified by the Elections Committee and are thereby declared official. The eight candidates receiving the most votes (as indicated below by an *) take office on the Council effective immediately.

During the Annual Meeting in late August, there was a valid challenge to the slate of nominees for seats on the APSA Council. Consequently, APSA held an all-member vote to determine the 2004-06 Council member seats. Ballots were collected from October 4 - November 3, 2004.

Total voter turn-out for the election was 3636 which is 25% of all eligible voters. Click here for the complete Election Analysis (PDF/289K).
