Four regions are called for elections for Regional Representatives in 2026:
In the Northeast and West regions there were NO nominations, therefore incumbents Brian Cooper and Max Finnance run without opposition and will retain their seat without need for voting.
In the Asia-Pacific (AP) region, incumbent Mark Hibberd seeks re-election, while Scott Ulrich secured nomination along with endorsements, and satisfies the required credentials to run as a candidate.
