This is an election year for CUPE 4705. Nominations and acclamations have taken place over this past week. Elections this year will be conducted electronically as per our by-law 12:03. The election committee consists of Sarah Timm (Chief Returning Officer), Mike McGaughey, Paul Kingsbury, Wanda Vuorela, and Richard Beausoliel. The Executive team has selected the company ‘Simply Voting’ to conduct our elections.
All members will receive information in the mail, sent to their last recorded home address (with your employer). This document will contain your unique identifier and a password. Once this is received you follow the instructions contained in your document by going onto the internet and voting for the candidates you are allowed to vote for (for example everyone votes for the Table Officers, but then each section can only vote for positions within their section). The voting packages are not sent out early, most of our members should receive them a few days before voting opens.
If you have not received your voting package by November 15, 2016, please contact the CRO directly at: sarah.timm@greatersudbury .ca or 705-674-4455 ext 3862 with a valid email address so that an electronic voting package can be sent to you.
Voting will open November 10, 2016 at 12:01am and will close November 16, 2016 at 11:59pm. There will be a polling station available for members to attend CUPE 4705 Hall at 41 Veterans Road in Copper Cliff on November 10th and 16th from 8am to 8pm. This poll will still be conducted electronically, it is being made available for those who may not have internet access or who wish to have some assistance with the process.
The results of the election will be announced at the General Membership Meeting on November 17, 2016 – 7pm. As soon as possible after the meeting results will be made public on the CUPE 4705 Website. All Candidates are asked to have a scrutineer arranged for ahead of time and present in the boardroom at the CUPE 4705 Hall before 7pm on November 17, 2016 to be present for the opening of the email results.
