Voting for the 2008 Election will take place during a Special Membership Meeting on Thursday April 17 from 4:00pm-8:00pm
at 113 University Place, 6th Floor, New York NY. If you are an eligible voter (click "2008 Election Notice" below for details),
but will be unable to attend the Special Membership Meeting because of a work assignment or Local Union business, you may
apply for an Absentee Ballot by submitting a signed Absentee Ballot Request Form, by mail (registered or certified) or in
person to UAW Local 7902 Election Committee, 113 University Place 6th Floor, New York NY 10003.
Note: The Election Committee can also accept requests by unregistered/uncertified mail,
but cannot take responsibility for lost requests.

Absentee Ballot Request Form - 2008 Election
2008 Election Notice
Absentee Ballots cannot be requested by email, fax or phone; you must use the form above. The Election Committee will
mail an Absentee Ballot Package to the home address you provide within five business days of receiving your signed statement.
If you do not receive the Absentee Ballot Package within ten days of mailing your signed statement, please contact the Election
Committee at 212-432-2120 or election@actuaw.org. Once you receive your Absentee Ballot Package, you'll follow instructions like the "Sample Instructions For Absentee Ballot
Voting" below.
If you request an Absentee Ballot, you must use it to vote, and may not vote at the Special Membership Meeting. Mail your
ballot soon enough for it to be received by April 17, 2008 at 3:00pm. Ballots received after this time will not be counted.
Sample Instructions For Absentee Ballot Voting
Please follow these instructions carefully:
- Verify that you have received all of the following:
- One Ballot
- One Secret Ballot Envelope
- One Envelope pre-addressed to the ACT-UAW Election Committee
If you have not received all three items, contact the Election Committee at 212-432-2120 or election@actuaw.org.
- Mark the Ballot by drawing an "X" in the boxes next to your choices. Do not place your name, initials, or any other
identifying information on the ballot.
Ballots containing any identifiable information, or more marks than allowed, will be voided.
- Place your marked ballot in the Secret Ballot Envelope and seal it.
You must use the Secret Ballot Envelope to ensure that ballot secrecy is maintained. Do not write on this envelope. Marks
on the Secret Ballot Envelope, or failure to use the Secret Ballot Envelope, will void your ballot.
- Insert the sealed Secret Ballot Envelope into the envelope pre-addressed to the ACT-UAW Election Committee.
- Seal the pre-addressed envelope and PRINT your name and address in its upper left corner.
Failure to print your name and address on the outer envelope may void your ballot, because your name, and the number printed
in the lower left corner of the envelope, will be combined to identify you as an eligible voter. Your vote will remain secret
because the Secret Ballot Envelope – containing your marked ballot – will be separated from this outer envelope,
and randomly mixed with other Secret Ballot Envelopes before it is opened.
- Place postage on the outer envelope and mail it soon enough for it to be received by April 17, 2008 at 3:00pm.
Ballots received after this time will not be counted.
Ballot secrecy can be preserved only if you personally mark and mail your ballot. Do not allow anyone else to mark or handle
your ballot. Do not give your ballot to anyone else for mailing.
If a ballot is spoiled, you may obtain a new one by contacting the Election Committee at 212-432-2120 or election@actuaw.org.
If we receive more than one ballot from you, only the last ballot received will be counted.
You must use this Absentee Ballot to vote in this election; you may not vote at the Special Membership Meeting on April 17.
