Branch Elections

The 2026 Branch Elections Kit is now available.

For more information on the branch electoral process, please see the CIU Branch Rules (specifically Branch Rule 12), write to us at elections@ciu-sdi.ca or contact your Branch President.

Individual Forms

These form are all available in the Branch Elections Kit, but are provided individually for your convenience — some forms are intended for the Branch Executive and/or the Branch Nominations Elections Committee (NEC) exclusively.

These filable forms are optimized for Adobe Acrobat but should work with other PDF readers.

Unless otherwise specified by the local Branch, the Branch Elections will be conducted electronically, following the Main Elections Timetable. The electronic voting process will be coordinated by the CIU National Office and overseen by Intelivote. More information will be provided before the start of the voting period on October 12.

Branches which opt out of the electronic process will be responsible for issuing and collecting paper ballots, using either the Main Elections Timetable for in-person voting or the Supplemental Timetable for mail-in ballots.

Please note:  In-person or mail-in ballots cannot be used in conjunction with electronic voting.

Results for Branches where elections are taking place will be made available on November 2. Results for positions filled by acclamation (in cases where only one nomination was received for a given position) will be posted at the end of the nomination period.

Each CIU Branch has a Nominations and Elections Committee (NEC) responsible for overseeing the elections throughout the Branch.
