Local 73 Officer and Delegate Elections
Official Certification of Election
The Elections Committee has extended the deadline to request a replacement ballot until 4:00 p.m. CST on 11/1/2024.
All ballots, including replacements, must be received by the morning of 11/9/2024 for the vote(s) to potentially count.
Any eligible member who has not received a ballot in the mail at home or who spoils his/her ballot may request a new ballot by contacting the Election contractor at 877-324-7655.
On the afternoon of Monday August 26, 2024, Local 73 posted a version of the nominating petition for officers that didn’t take into account the change to the number of Region 1’s EBoard officers. We have replaced that form with an updated version as of August 27, 2024 that reflects those changes and is more user-friendly for slate and individual candidates. The Election Committee will accept either form as long the petitions otherwise conform to the requirements in the rules. Please contact elections@seiu73.org with any questions.
For Delegate Petitions and Nominations: Please note that the table on page 13-D of the “Notice and Instructions” mailing contains incorrect signature requirements. The table on 16-D of the mailing reflects the correct requirements for each region, as does the remainder of the Notice’s text. We have corrected the “Notice and Instructions” form on the website. Additionally, to further highlight the correction, we’ve added a third page to the Delegates Petition that includes the specific signature requirements for delegates. Please contact elections@seiu73.org with any questions.
Beginning after 9:00 am on September 26, 2024, Local 73’s third party election administrator, Merriman River, with the assistance of Local 73’s clerical staff, will be reviewing the nomination petitions submitted by the September 25th deadline. Per the Elections Committee, any potential candidate may appear to observe this process. This review will occur at Local 73’s office in Chicago.
