Get Ready to Cast Your Vote
The ratification vote for this tentative agreement will be conducted online and will be administered by TrueBallot Inc. Rules for this ratification vote have been posted on the IAPE website, and will be emailed to all IAPE-represented employees.

All members who were considered in good standing as of August 18, 2022—the date the tentative agreement was signed—will be eligible to vote in this ratification election. Voting credentials will be emailed on Friday, August 26, 2022. Members must vote before Friday, September 9, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. EDT.
