Election Questions

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Many of you have inquired about Steward Elections, Ratification Election and so forth.  Rather than answer each question individually I have decided to answer them here for the benefit of all readers.

Executive and Steward positions:  All elections will follow the International Constitution and By-laws which directs elections to take place in January through February 15.  There will be no exceptions.

All elections will be conducted by the Local Executive Staff (Elections Committees will be drawn from the affected group) and if possible will be conducted through the mail.

All ratifications will be conducted by the Local Executive Staff and if possible will be conducted through the mail.

Any member wishing to protest an election must do so within the strict requirements laid out in the International Constitution and By-laws.

Any positions that require filling during the time between elections will be selected by the Local Executive Board from a pool of volunteers.  Such appointees will serve out the remainder of the term until the next regular election.

Question concerning this should be directed to myself at:
