Nordic Political Science Association
NoPSA has a board of two members from each political science association of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The board elects a chairperson from amongst its members. The board also appoints a secretary. The chairperson is elected for a period of three years and may not be re-elected for the following three-year period. The election takes place at the board meeting held in connection with the NoPSA Congress. The secretary is elected for the same three-year period as the chairperson. Due to the extraordinary CoVID-19 situation, that postponed the XIX Congress, the board with the support of the five nordic PSAs changed the statutes to allow for extending the 2017-2020 term with one year for the chair and secretary until the congress could be held.
At the XIX Congress in August 2021, Eva Heiða Önnudóttir, University of Iceland was elected as president and Sara Þöll Finnbogadóttir as the secretary.
