Did You Get Your Ballot?/Mail In Your Ballot!

By now all IAPE members eligible to vote in the 2020 referenda should have received their “OFFICIAL SECRET BALLOT” from the American Arbitration Association, which is administering the union elections. 

The packet includes a pink paper ballot with voting instructions and a portion for members to mark their choice for union president and to cast a YES/NO vote on the proposal to eliminate the dues cap; an envelope marked “SECRET BALLOT” for the completed ballot; and a business reply envelope to mail the voting package back to AAA in New York by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday Nov. 4. 

The ballot should contain no marks that would identify the voter. We are encouraging members, especially those who reside outside of the New York area, to put their ballots in the mail as soon as possible to ensure they arrive at AAA by the deadline. 

If you have not received a ballot or need a replacement because your ballot has been lost or spoiled, contact Sacha Ulerio at ulerios@adr.org.

IAPE WILL NOT HANDLE ANY BALLOTS OR REQUESTS FOR BALLOTS.

For questions about the election of officers or voting eligibility, contact the IAPE elections committee.  To learn more about the candidates for IAPE president visit the election blog for ways to connect and to read personal statements from each. For more information about the campaign to eliminate the dues cap, visit the FAQ or reach out to the union office to arrange a meeting with one of our stewards to hear more about this measure and why the IAPE board is strongly recommending a YES vote.
