Balloting Procedures.

Download and return a ballot for the election(s) you will be voting in, and return to

May Saunders c/o PSAC Edmonton RO Suite 670, 10665 Jasper Avenue Edmonton, AB T5J 3S9

prior to the deadline – close of business December 4th 2009 – please take this into account when sending ballots via mail.

As always use the double envelope method and please ensure your name is clearly marked on the outer envelope. Note that ballots will not be accepted by email, fax, or proxy. A physical ballot must be used and must arrive in Edmonton prior to December 4th.

Important: to ensure the integrity and secrecy of your vote, please mark the position – ie President, Equity Director, Northern Director – on the inner (brown) envelope. Your name and worksite goes on the outer envelope. For example, if you were a member of the equity caucus working in the North you would send in one outer envelope with your name marked on it with three inner envelopes, each containing one ballot, with each election marked on the inner envelope. If you were (like your humble webmaster) not from an equity-seeking group and working in BC, you would send in one outer envelope with your name on it, and one inner envelope with President marked on it.

1. Ballot for President (all CULE members are eligible to vote)

2. Ballot for Director, North (all CULE members working in the North are eligible to vote)

3. Ballot for Director, Equity (all CULE equity caucus members are eligible to vote)

Congratulations to these new (and returning) executive members:
