As many of you know the International Constitution and
Bylaws Article XXV Section 2 requires the election of Local Union Officers
shall be conducting during January to February 15 of each year.
I thought it would be helpful to go over a few facts
involving our election process to get everyone started.
In order to participate in both the nomination and election
process you must be (Article XXV Section 8(a)) a member in good standing as
defined in Article VI Section 14.
In order to run for an Executive Board Position you must
have been a member in continuous good standing in the Local Union for one (1)
year immediately prior to the nomination (Article XXV Section 4).
These positions are:
President, Vice President, or Vice Presidents, Recording
Secretary, Financial Secretary-Treasurer, and (1) to three (3) Trustees. Each Local has the option to have a
Sergeant-at-Arms and/or a Guide (Article XXV Section 1).
No member may hold two or more Local Executive Positions
(Article XXV Section 4).
Locals should start the process of looking for volunteers to
serve on the Election Committee. If you
are running for office you are not allowed to serve on the Election Committee
(Article XXV Section 8(c)).
If you would a copy of the newly published International
Constitution and Bylaws you can download one by clicking on the link below.

By The Way
This will not apply to those locals who have elected to have
longer terms of office in accordance with the International Constitution and
Bylaws, Article XXV Section 3.
