*Explanation Note for members not casting vote in person: The reason for requesting your name is so that we can provide you with an electronic ballot. This will ensure that only one vote is cast per member in good standing. In Ottawa, the checking-off names from voting lists and providing members with ballots is done on site.

In all cases, votes will be handled by PSAC in a way that ensures privacy and confidentiality.
