+Hi Rebblers,
+
+This is just a short blog post to say: [voting is now open for the Rebble
+Foundation's next Board of
+Directors](https://auth.rebble.io/vote/board-election-spring-2026)!  As I
+mentioned [in our last blog
+post](https://rebble.io/2026/02/16/nominate-yourself.html), the Rebble
+Foundation is the non-profit organization that keeps Rebble running, and the
+Board of Directors is a group of five people, elected by Rebblers like you;
+the Board steers how Rebble uses its resources and sets goals for Rebble
+over the next year.  The vote is a ranked choice ballot -- you can vote for
+as many candidates as you like, and your vote is of course anonymous.
+
+On a personal note, this election makes me really excited about the future
+of Rebble.  I'm taking (at least) a year off from serving on the Board, but
+seeing that we have 12 amazing candidates who want to serve Rebble makes me
+really hopeful -- and I'm particularly excited to see a variety of different
+opinions and focuses on what Rebble should do next.  The hardest part about
+this election for me is that I had to come up with an order to rank so many
+good candidates in!
+
+Anyway, **this is your opportunity to shape what Rebble becomes next**, and
+I really would like to encourage that you take it!  Voting is open to all Rebble
+users with accounts older than February 16th, 2026; voting is open through
+the end of the day March 9th.  And as a special incentive, if you vote in
+the election, and then [send me an e-mail with your mailing
+address](mailto:joshua@rebble.foundation), there is a very good chance that
+I will mail you a special "I voted" sticker...
+
+So, **[please participate in the Rebble Board
+election!](https://auth.rebble.io/vote/board-election-spring-2026)** The
+future of Rebble is bright -- and it's yours to make.
+
+All the best,
