IMPORTANT INFORMATION

In order to be eligible to vote, you must:

1. Ensure you are a full member in good standing (MIGS Full)
2. Attend a mandatory (in-person) information session in its entirety (per PSAC Regulation 15)

STEPS

Step 1: ENSURING YOU ARE A FULL MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING

In some situations, PSAC members are not yet, or have ceased being, members in good standing (MIGS) and lose the right to participate in ratification votes.  These include:

• Maintaining Your Status When on Extended leave
  • If you are on extended leave (e.g., long term disability, maternity or parental leave, etc.) you are no longer a member in good standing (MIGS), therefore, you must make a request to remain in good standing to the National President via this online requisition form. Once your request has been approved, please forward the confirmation you received by email to [email protected] in order to ensure your vote is counted.
• Signing Your Union Rand Card
  • If you have never signed a union card, please fill out the membership application card online which will update your Rand status during the voting period. Following your submission, please forward the email confirmation you will receive to: [email protected] which will ensure your vote is counted. 
  • If you have difficulty at any time in the process, please contact your PSAC Regional Office at [email protected] 
  • Do not wait to register for the mandatory info session – Go ahead and register now even if you are waiting for your MIGS approval and/or your Rand status update.

Step 2: ATTEND A MANDATORY INFORMATION SESSION

• The PSAC constitution, Regulation 15C requires all members to attend a mandatory information portion of the session before they vote. The mandatory portion usually lasts about 10 to 20 minutes. These sessions will be held on the Simply Voting platform and will also allow members to ask questions after the mandatory portion, regarding the content of the tentative agreement. The date and time of the session is listed below.
  • Note, attendance will be tracked, and only those who attended the information session in its entirety, will have their member profile updated on the e-voting system, ensuring that they are eligible to vote.
• Technical notes
  • Please arrive 5 to 10 minutes early for the session to address any technical problems in advance.

Step 3: CASTING YOUR RECEIVED VOTING CREDENTIALS

Only after you have attended a mandatory information session in its entirety, and your membership status has been confirmed, will you be eligible to vote. You will receive your voting package by email from VOGO and vote online upon the scheduled opening of the voting platform.

The online voting period is the following:

• from 6pm November 3rd to November 5th at 11:59pm for participants of the first day of information sessions
• from 6pm on November 4th until November 5th at 11:59 pm for participants of the second day of information sessions

Please verify your junk and promotional folders before emailing us. If you have issues voting after completely attending the info session and require assistance, please contact us by email [email protected] and remember to include your PSAC ID, name and use a personal email address.

• Do not wait to register for the mandatory info session – Go ahead and register now even if you are waiting for your MIGS approval and/or your Rand status update.
• This vote is by secret ballot. How you vote is entirely confidential.
