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 2005-06 Council. Ballots were collected from October 3 - November 2, 2005.

Total voter turnout for the election was 4303 which is 30.3% of all eligible voters.  In the past two years, the Association has had 30.1 and 25 percent voter turnout for the election.
