2026 OMA elections results ratification

Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA) requires that board directors be elected by “ordinary resolution”, which means they receive a simple majority of the votes cast (more than 50 per cent + 1 of votes cast). If an elected candidate doesn’t receive the required majority, the results will be brought forward to members at the OMA’s Annual General Meeting for ratification. This will satisfy the ONCA requirement. While the three successful physician board director candidates received the most member votes, none of them reach the 50 per cent + 1 threshold. Members will be required to ratify the election results for the three physician board director candidates to confirm the election results at the AGM to ensure the ONCA requirement is met.
 
We also ran a simple yes/no vote for non-physician board members seeking re-election, in alignment with ONCA requirements. Ratification applies where the director remains eligible, continues to meet the expectations of the role, and brings skills and experience aligned with the board’s needs. This has taken place with a 50 per cent + 1 threshold and requires no further ratification at the AGM.
 
The president-elect becomes a voting board director in their president year. As such, the president-elect is also required by ONCA to be elected by ordinary resolution. As the president-elect in this year’s election received 50 per cent + 1 of the votes cast, their election meets the ONCA requirement and members will not be required to ratify this result at the AGM.
