Nominations for the election of officers and delegates to the International Convention will take place at the May General Meeting. After nomination s have been completed an election judge will be elected. From that point on the election judge will be in complete charge of the election process.
Article 26, Sec. 10 of the IBEW Constitution states: No member shall be nominated for office unless he is present or signifies in writing, nor shall he be eligible for any office unless he has been a member in continuous good standing at least two (2) years in the Local Union immediately prior to nomination, providing the Local Union has been in existence for this length of time.
This year the election ballot will provide for the election of the second (2nd) delegate to the International Convention and also the alternate delegate to the International Convention.
