The IAM will hold an election for General Secretary-Treasurer on Saturday, April 24, 2021. All members in good standing are encouraged to vote either in person or absentee.
VOTE ABSENTEE
It is critical that members are aware of their right to request an absentee ballot and the process for doing so. Note that it IS permissible for members to request and vote by absentee ballot if they have safety concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Absentee Ballot Request Forms must be received by Monday, April 12, 2021.

Absentee Ballots must be postmarked by Thursday, April 22, 2021, and received by Thursday, April 29, 2021. This provides an extra week from the timeline initially set forth in order to account for possible mail delivery delays. Members are urged to mail Absentee Ballot Request Forms and Absentee Ballots well ahead of these dates due to delays with the Postal Service.
