Final Elections will be held during PTK Catalyst 2026
The February 18 preliminary election narrowed the field to the following Semifinalists. For the Final Elections, only chapters registered for PTK Catalyst 2026 may vote. Each registered chapter’s Contact Advisor selects one member to serve as Voting Delegate. Contact Advisors should report their chapter’s voting delegate via the Advisor dashboard no later than Friday, March 20. Questions? Email ptkvote@ptk.org.

Watch the video, which includes a 90-second speech inspired by the Honors Study Topic, What’s Next? Imagining The Future as well as a brief interview by a current International Officer.
