Article 2.2 of the Electoral Regulations provides that following the FIDE Presidential ticket election, the General Assembly shall adjourn and the Continental Associations shall convene to elect their Continental President and Continental Deputy President. During this adjournment, nominations for FIDE elected positions, including elected Vice Presidents, Ethics Commission, Constitutional Commission and Verification Commission, shall be made to the Secretariat.

Please note that the FIDE Secretariat will have an office at the General Assembly venue where nominations may be submitted.


Vice Presidents

Nominations for the position of elected Vice President shall be made to the Secretariat by the delegates or proxies representing federations at the General Assembly.
