+We are delighted to announce the results of the
+[2025 OpenTelemetry Governance Committee Election](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/elections/2025/governance-committee-election.md)!
+
+The OpenTelemetry project continues to bring together an exceptionally vibrant
+community, who are shaping the future of observability with their contributions.
+This year, active contributors have shown their commitment again by
+participating in our election process, and they've done it in great numbers.
+
+702 contributors were eligible to vote this year, and 273 of them cast their
+ballot. With a participation rate of 39%, it is in line with last year's
+participation rate, where 299 ballots were cast with 701 eligible voters.
+
+Five positions were up for election in this year's Governance Committee
+selection process. Without further ado, please join us in congratulating
+[Austin Parker](https://github.com/austinlparker),
+[Juraci Paixão Kröhling](https://github.com/jpkrohling),
+[Marylia Gutierrez](https://github.com/maryliag),
+[Severin Neumann](https://github.com/svrnm), and
+[Ted Young](https://github.com/tedsuo)! All will serve a two-year term.
+
+We'd like to thank everyone who participated -- candidates, voters, and the
+election organizers -- for their efforts. You can find the
+[full results of the election here](https://vote.heliosvoting.org/helios/elections/f94a7c58-990b-11f0-a16d-5270fb641b4c/view).
