The Results Are In!

Thanks to all of our members who voted in the 2020 Elections,
and CONGRATULATIONS to all of our elected candidates!

We held the ballot count for our 2020 Elections on
Friday, June 26 in the Council 57 Headquarters at 5:00 P.M.

The count was witnessed and recorded by our Business Agent, Kym Anderson. The Ballots were verified by Election Committee members: Marcy Khan-Committee Chair and E-Board Member at Large, Laurice Brown-Recording Secretary and Wendy Ibarra- 2nd Vice President.

The Election Committee appreciates the virtual assistance from our Membership Secretary, Diane Eggering, for providing expedited verification for our newly signed members.

162 total ballots were received, of which 7 were unsigned and not counted and 1 was returned undeliverable by the US Postal Service. Therefore, we counted the 154 eligible ballots. Of these, only 151 casted votes for Executive Board Members at Large, and only 153 of the 154 ballots were counted for AFSCME International Virtual Convention because 1 ballot voted for more than 5 candidates.
