X12 Board elections will be held in January 2026. X12 members will elect two directors to serve on the X12 Board for the 2026 - 2028 term. Both seats are unrestricted, meaning they do not have to be filled by an X12 member representative.
Applications are being accepted now through 11:59 pm ET on December 27, 2025. Individuals who meet the criteria listed below may register their interest in serving on the X12 Board by submitting this online application form.
