Duplicate Ballot Request Deadline Tomorrow
and Voter Eligibility Information

Flight Attendants based in CLT, DFW, LAX, MIA, ORD, and PHL should have already received their ballots for the 2023 Base Representative Elections. The last day to request a duplicate ballot is tomorrow, March 2, 2023, at 12:00 pm (CT). If you still need a ballot, be sure to get in touch with the YesElections support desk immediately at:

(866) 384-9978 or [email protected]

Ballots must be received at the designated post office box no later than 10:00 am CT on Thursday, March 9, 2023. Ballots will be retrieved at the post office in Fort Worth, where they are being mailed. By retrieving the ballots directly from that post office, we can avoid the additional time for sorting and mail carrier delivery. We strongly encourage you to mail your ballots as soon as possible.

The APFA Account Manager at the Fort Worth Post Office where the ballots will be retrieved has previously recommended any member who has not received their ballot do the following:

• Place your name in your post office box.
• Speak with your Letter Carrier and make sure they know you are to receive mail at your designated box.
• Set up “Informed Delivery” with the USPS. (This is a free service of the USPS) https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action

Where can I find information about the candidates?
Candidate information is now available on the Union Elections page on the APFA website. Paper candidate booklets will no longer be provided in the mail with your ballot.

What are the eligibility requirements to vote? How do I determine if I’m a member in good standing?
To be eligible to vote, you must be an active member in good standing. A member is considered in good standing so long as they have met their dues obligation, with no dues in arrears for more than sixty (60) days. For your vote to count, you must be an active member in good standing by 1700 CT on March 6, 2023. (APFA Constitution Article II, Section 4.A-C – Article VI, Section 4.B & 4.D)

You may check if you are a member in good standing or pay your dues by logging into APFA.org and then clicking on “My Account” in the upper left-hand corner.

You may also contact the APFA Membership & Dues Departments at [email protected] to confirm if you are in good standing. For assistance with online payments, to pay over the phone, or to check your dues status, you may contact:

APFA Membership/Dues Department at (817) 540-0108, option 3

Where do I mail my ballot?
Instructions on where to mail your completed ballot is included in the ballot instructions/return envelope. Please ensure to use the included pre-addressed Business Reply Envelope when mailing your ballot.

• Do not mail your completed ballot to APFA Headquarters.
• Do not bring it to the ballot count.
• Only ballots that are received in the designated Post Office Box listed on the return envelope with the ballot will be counted.

We ask that you read the information carefully before mailing your ballot. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE.

Where will the ballot count take place?
The ballots will be collected from the designated Post Office Box on March 9, 2023, at 1000 (CT). The ballot count will commence directly after at APFA Headquarters. Once the National Ballot Committee certifies the election results, a hotline will be sent to the membership.

In Solidarity,
