CUPE 718 is Requesting Volunteers To serve on the Election Committee

We are seeking 5 members who are not on the Executive Board and are not a Trustee to serve as our Election Committee under Article 6 of the Bylaw. This is a one-year commitment.

The duties of this committee are as follows:

  • Elect a Chief Returning Officer who will rule on any election complaints
  • Ensure nominations are in order and were received within the timelines
  • Work with the independent firm selected to conduct the electronic vote
  • Prepare a brief written report of the results to the membership for the AGM
  • Declare elected the candidate in each election who receives a majority of votes cast (50% +1 vote)

This will require a small time commitment, most of which will be done during work hours on Union paid time.

If you are interested in participating on this committee to ensure a successful election, please contact the Union Office at office@cupe718.ca or (604) 278-3718 by September 12, 2023.
