2023 Branch Elections — Information about the electronic voting process

Starting October 9, CIU members in good standing — located in Branches where elections are taking place for one or more positions, as part of this year’s Branch Elections — will have the opportunity to vote electronically. Please see below for more information regarding the voting process.

Please note: If elections are not taking place for a specific position, this means the position has been filled by acclamation, or that no nomination was received. 

For more information about Branch Elections in general, see the following page.

    • Members from a Branch where elections are not taking place, but who receive an invitation to vote, should disregard the invitation and write to elections@ciu-sdi.ca to report the issue.
  • Members will be provided with a PIN, which they’ll need to vote either online or by phone. Details (PIN, web address and phone number) will be included in the email/letter from Intelivote.
  • Voting will open at 9 a.m. ET on October 9, and close at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on October 29, 2023​.
