Electronic Voting Procedures

The Union of National Employees supports the use of electronic voting as a legal and legitimate means of voting. To ensure that the technology is used in a consistent and appropriate manner, this policy establishes the procedures to be followed for its use.

Voting Procedures

1. Prior to voting, the delegates will be provided with an orientation to electronic voting.
2. The chair of the election will advise delegates that a vote will take place and will provide sufficient time for delegates to cast their electronic ballot.
3. Once the results have been tabulated and announced, the chair of the election will grant delegates no more than 10 minutes between rounds of voting, should subsequent voting rounds be required.
   
4. Impartial assistance will be provided to anyone requesting help to complete the voting process.
   
5. With the exception of the vote results, component members, officers and staff will not be permitted to see any other election-related data.
