On Monday, January 28th at 6:50pm, the UAFP Elections Committee sent out an email with a plethora of information. If you have not seen the email, please check you junk or spam folder for this important email.

As a reminder, the key dates for the elections are:

April 4-8 – Elections will be held by secret ballot. The candidates who receive the majority of votes cast for each contested position will win. If no candidate wins a majority, run-offs will be scheduled.

Meanwhile: Have questions or an idea you’d like to share in person? The Elections Committee will be having a “Fall in Love With Your Union” virtual brown bag event on February 14. We’ll send around a Zoom link and agenda next week. You may also contact the election committee at: uafpelections@gmail.com.
