IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In order to be eligible to vote, you must:
- Ensure you are a full member in good standing (MIGS Full)
- Register and attend a mandatory (virtual) information session in its entirety (per PSAC Regulation 15)
- Provide a personal email address (via the registration form below) in order to receive your (electronic) voter package containing your voting credentials. This will be provided once your attendance to the info session is recorded.
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 ncr-vote@psac-afpc.com 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: ncr-vote@psac-afpc.com which will ensure your vote is counted.
- If you have difficulty at any time in the process, please contact your PSAC Regional Office at ncr-vote@psac-afpc.com
- 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 receive their voting credentials from the e-voting system, ensuring that they are eligible to cast their ballot.
- 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 and therefore receive your voting credentials by personal email. You will be able to vote online upon the scheduled opening of the voting platform.
The online voting period is the following:
