What is the World Skate athletes' commission?
The Athletes’ Commission is where skaters speak directly into the heart of World Skate. Its members carry the voice of the athlete community into the decisions that shape our sports, from competition to athlete welfare. In 2026 that Commission is being renewed, and the athletes competing in Asunción are the ones who choose who sits at the table.

Voting period
The election will open on 4 October 2026 at 8:00 a.m. (Asunción time) and will close on 18 October 2026 at 11:59 p.m. (Lausanne time).
All athletes eligible to vote will receive their personal voting link by email, starting from 4 October 2026. The link will be sent to the email address included in each athlete's Infinity profile, subject to completion of the official check-in procedure at the World Skate Games ASU 2026.
Athletes are encouraged to check that the email address in their Infinity profile is correct and up to date, so they do not miss their voting link.
The Athletes' Commission gives athletes a direct voice within World Skate. Every vote helps shape the future of our sports.
Who can vote?
You can vote in a cluster if you:
- are at least 18 years old on 18 October 2026;
- are registered in Infinity as an athlete for the World Skate Games ASU 2026;
- have completed the official on-site check-in in Asunción;
- are competing in that cluster;
- have a valid personal email address in your Infinity profile.
You vote only for the representatives of the cluster you compete in. If you compete in more than one and meet every requirement, you can vote in each. Accreditation alone does not give a vote: coaches, officials, delegates, judges and staff do not vote.
How to vote?
1) Complete your on-site check-in in Asunción.
2) From 4 October, 8:00 am (Asunción time), watch for an email at the address saved in your Infinity profile. It contains your secure, personal voting link.
3) Open the link. Your ballot will show only the cluster (or clusters) you are entitled to vote in, and how many representatives to elect for each gender.
4) Cast your vote. You can abstain on any position if you wish.
5) Submit. Once submitted, a ballot is final: it cannot be changed or cast again.
Your link is personal and non-transferable. Do not share or forward it, and do not vote for anyone else: proxy voting is not allowed. The ballot is secret, and you must not photograph, record or reveal how you voted.
The one thing to do right now
The entire vote reaches you by email. Log in to Infinity and check that the personal email address in your profile is correct and one you can actually access during the Games.
If it is wrong or out of date, you may not receive your voting link. It takes two minutes, and it is the single most important step you can take.
Fair play
Candidates can campaign from the moment approved candidates are published until voting closes. Campaigning must be respectful and honest: no gifts or favours in exchange for votes, no pressure or harassment, no false claims about other candidates, no misuse of official channels or personal data.
