Wikimedia Europe/Board Elections 2025
This page is dedicated to the Board Elections for Wikimedia Europe which will take place in 2025.
Outcome of the elections

That means that the four elected board members for the next two years are:

A detailed vote breakdown will be posted here in the coming days. We will also finalize this election page by publishing a final report on the process (including a “cookbook” if you would like to replicate this process for (a part of) other elections within the movement). This will be published in a few weeks.
