Columbus, OH – Current U.S. Trotting Association members can now vote online on the 14 proposed rule and bylaw changes for 2027. Online ballots are available through each member’s secure USTA account, with voting open through Feb. 1, 2027.
The complete set of proposals may be reviewed here.
Before casting a ballot, members are encouraged to participate in their district meetings to hear more about the proposals, ask questions and offer feedback. Meetings will be held either in person or via Zoom. A schedule of district meeting dates and formats is available online, and members will receive meeting announcements by email in advance.
Members without access to an online account may request a paper ballot by contacting Member Services at memberservices@ustrotting.com.
An instructional sheet is also available to guide members through the online voting process.
Member voting results will be shared with the respective district directors in real time. That input will help inform discussion at the USTA Annual Meeting in March 2027, when the Board of Directors will cast the final votes on the proposed changes.
