PR elections: Ballots! | Flex Voting Party & AATF affinity space | GMM | More…

Precinct Representatives (delegates) are the most important part of your Union’s democratic decision-making structure and do the grassroots organizing work with you that allows us to win our struggles for better wages and working conditions for the college that San Francisco deserves. Our Union structure contains 41 precincts, divided by department and/or location (pre-COVID). Members within a precinct vote for their own precinct representative(s).

• Precinct Rep nominations are in and ballots will be emailed out on Wednesday, October 7. Watch your personal or college email (whichever one we have on file for you) for an OFFICIAL BALLOT (in the subject line) from the AFT 2121 Election Commission (sender). Our voting platform is called Survey Hero, and we don’t know if your email will reject the message – so keep an eye out! (Sometimes messages can be found in clutter (CCSF), promotions (Gmail), or spam.
• If you don’t receive an email ballot by Thursday, October 8, or if you have other election related questions, please contact the union office aft@aft2121.org. We will pass along any messages to the Election Commission that need to be answered by them.
• Voting is private and confidential. Only the Election Commission will have access to voting information and all personal identifying information will be deleted from the voting platform immediately after votes are tallied.
• Your Election Commissioners are: Kathleen Duffy, Craig Kleinman, and Anne Vanderslice.
• Because this election was delayed from spring, all members who were eligible to vote in spring will be eligible to vote in this election, and are also electable as precinct rep, whether or not they have an assignment this fall.
• If there are nominees in your precinct, their names will be listed. Voters may also write in a name.
• Precinct Rep elections run from Wednesday, October 7, through 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 16.
