Nomination Process
Send an email to the Election Committee. Candidates may nominate themselves, or may be nominated by others. If nominated by others, the candidate must accept the nomination. All nominated candidates must receive five endorsements to be placed on the ballot. These endorsements are also sent to the same email address, as are any questions about the election process.
Candidacy Requirements
Candidates for the office of regional representative must meet the following requirements:
* Candidates must live in the region they represent at the time of the election.
* Candidates must be an Active member of the BJCP.
* Candidates must hold the rank of Certified or higher.
* Candidates must receive the endorsements (simple email acknowledgment) from five other Active judges who reside in the same region by the Nominations Closed date.

A question came up on the BJCP Forums about duties of the Board and it was answered here:

Still accepting nominations, if you’re in one of the regions up for election and want to make a difference, here’s your chance. Next chance comes in 3 years 
Final call for those wishing to serve as an Officer. The deadline for nominations and endorsements is March 31.
The 2011 BJCP Board of Director Elections are open until May 15. If you are in the Mid-Atlantic or Midwest regions please read the candidate statements and vote. Please note you may have to login twice.

For the West and South regions the elections were uncontested. You can read those candidate statements at the same link.
I’m a bit confused by the map. I’m in southern New Mexico(at the moment). What region am I? Thanx!
Mountain/Northwest
That seat is not up for re-election this year (it is in 2013) which is why that part of the map is mysteriously missing.
Let’s have some AHA members and BJCP Judges step up to the plate and vote. If you are reading this and are in one of the two contested regions, please cast your vote before May 15.
