Voter Eligibility

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 Friday, March 1, 2024, at 5:00 pm (CT). (APFA Constitution Article II, Section 4.A-C – Article VI, Section 4.B & 4.D)

In your ballot package, on the Notice/Voting Instructions page, at the top we included information about your voter eligibility and any balance owed as of January 29, 2024. We strongly suggest you check your eligibility and dues balance on APFA.org before 5:00 pm (CT) on Friday, March 1, 2024, as eligibility is subject to change.

Duplicate Ballots

The ballots for this election were just mailed today. When conducting these elections by paper/mail, we must rely on USPS mail delivery, and unforeseen delays and issues can occur that are well outside of our control.

If you do not receive a ballot (or need a replacement), you may request a duplicate by contacting our election partner, YesElections support desk at (866) 384-9978 or [email protected].

The last day to request a duplicate ballot is on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, at 12:00pm (CT). The NBC does not advise members to wait until this date, as you may not have enough time to receive your ballot and mail it back.

Returning Your Ballot

Instructions on where to mail your completed ballot are included in the ballot instructions/return envelope.

• Do not mail your completed ballot to APFA HQ or Representative offices.
• Do not bring it to the ballot count.

Ballot Count

The ballots will be collected from the designated Post Office Box on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at 10:00 am (CT). The ballot count will commence directly after at: APFA Headquarters, members in good standing are welcome to attend.
