Your vote opens today – don't miss your chance to shape Intersect 

Today is the day. Voting in the Intersect committee elections is now open, and as a member, this is your moment to make it count.

From now until May 1 at 12 PM UTC, you have the power to elect the people who will represent you on Intersect's committees — the individuals who will drive governance decisions, influence how resources are directed, and ensure the community's voice is never an afterthought.

What you're voting for

This election is for five seats on each of seven functional committees, each playing a distinct role in how our ecosystem is governed and supported. The chairs of those committees come together with Intersect leadership and four elected members (two of whom are being elected in this round) to form the Intersect Steering Committee — the body responsible for providing strategic oversight and direction across the organisation.

In every committee, elected members serve two-year terms. About half of the members are up for election every year, ensuring a balance between welcoming new ideas and maintaining continuity.

The people elected through this process aren't figureheads. They are active participants in decisions that shape Cardano's future.

One member, one vote

This election is about representation, not resources. Voting is not based on the value of ada held — every Enterprise and Individual member has equal voting power. Your voice carries the same weight as anyone else's.

Who you’re voting for

For every committee, there are more candidates than available seats, ensuring a competitive election in every case.

Cardano Civics Committee (CCC)

Cardano Product Committee (CPC)

Growth and Marketing Committee (GMC)

How to vote

All voting is conducted through the member portal, where you'll also find full details on the candidates and the process. Voting is open now through May 1 at 12 PM UTC.

Each functional committee has around five seats up for election, and the Intersect Steering Committee has two. In each committee, you can vote for as many candidates as there are available seats, so use your 37 votes wisely. If you need to, you can change your vote up until the deadline of noon UTC on May 1.

Log in to the member portal, select ‘Voting events’, and cast your vote. Results will be announced on May 4.
