Only Current WBMA Member Clubs are permitted to vote in this election, one vote per club.

In ordinary circumstances, the WBMC is bid four years in advance on at the biennial WBMA meeting at the biennial WBMC.
For example, at the WBMA meeting in 2023, we will decide on who will host the WBMC in 2027.

Due to the nature of the NZ 2023 cancellation and subsequent call for proposals, we are overlooking the rule that states “Consecutive World Championships shall not be conducted on the same continent.”  It is our current intention that this rule will be reinstated following this election.
