Elections

To help ARIN fulfill its mission, we rely on our members to participate in ARIN governance activities, including attending our Public Policy and Members Meetings, engaging in the Internet number resource policy development process, and voting in ARIN Elections.

To maintain General Member status, organizations must have participated in at least one of the last three ARIN Elections.

On 9 November 2026, ARIN reclassified 369 General Member organizations that have not cast a ballot since 2024 to Service Member status. ARIN now has 2,076 organizations classified as General Members and 24,957 classified as Service Members.

Service Member organizations continue to have access to ARIN’s full suite of services, including the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) and Internet Routing Registry (IRR). However, unlike General Members, Service Members are not eligible to vote in ARIN Elections. If your organization is interested in participating in ARIN Elections, visit our Membership page to learn how you can request General Member status using your ARIN Online account.

If you have any questions about your organization’s membership status, please email member-support@arin.net.

Regards,

ARIN
