DALyon Chapter leadership committee elections are coming


Every two years, we elect a new leadership committee of the Democrats Abroad France - Lyon Chapter. This year the elections will take place on Saturday, March 23rd from 4:30pm to 5:00pm.*

We will host an apéro to welcome our members and to announce the elections results. Please join us at:

Quality Suites Lyon Confluence
50 Cours Charlemagne
69002 Lyon

You will be able to vote electronically, by post or in-person.  Ballots will be sent electronically two weeks prior to the election. To vote for the DAF Lyon leadership committee, you need to be a member of Democrats Abroad, over 18 years of age and living in the greater Lyon area.

The Call for Candidates has been sent out and the deadline for reception of candidacies is March 2nd. The positions open on the DALyon leadership committee are:

  • Chapter Chair
  • Chapter Vice Chair
  • Treasurer
  • Secretary
  • Member-at-large (3)

There is still time to submit your candidacy to us at [email protected]. All that you need to provide is your name, the position that you wish to run for and a brief candidate statement (150 words). For a description of the open positions and eligibility requirements, click here

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

To ensure fair and transparent elections, the DAFrance - Lyon Chapter elections will be overseen by an independent Election Officer.  The Election Officer may not be running for a position on the leadership committee.  This year, the Election Officer is the outgoing DALyon Chapter Chair, Robin Guinot.

Note: this is our local election and is independent of the national election for the DA-France Executive Committee to be held later this spring.


* The elections will take place following the Tax Talk event. You do not need to reserve a place to attend the elections. However, should you wish to attend the Tax Talk event from 2:30 to 4:30pm, we recommend that you RSVP to assure a place there.
