People living in communities within the national park have just over a week to help choose five local people to join the authority board.
Elections are taking place on Thursday, July 7 to appoint new members to the board, which is responsible for guiding the organisation and making important decisions on matters ranging from tackling climate change to planning.
One board member will be elected in each of the five electoral wards in the national park.
James Stuart, convenor of the national park authority board, said: “These elections are an important opportunity for national park residents to decide who should be on our board to help shape the next chapter for the national park.
“From nature and climate to visitor management and planning, the board makes decisions on key issues that affect local people and their communities.
“Our elected members bring valuable local insights and perspectives to help us do this.
“I would urge everyone to return their ballot paper as early as possible to decide who is the right fit for the national park.”
Registered voters aged 16 and over who live in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park have received postal ballots for the elections in recent weeks.
Completed ballots must be returned in the pre-paid envelope provided by 4pm on Thursday, July 7.
The election results will be announced on social media by Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority on the evening of July 7.
