Requested Paper Ballots

Any requested Paper ballots must be received at the designated P.O. Box no later than July 12, 2024, at 10:00 am (CT). The last day to request a paper ballot or duplicate balloting credentials is this Friday, July 5, 2024, at 12:00 pm (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. We ask that you read the information carefully before mailing back your ballot.

A pre-printed and postage paid return envelope will be included with your requested paper ballot package. As a reminder, for returning completed paper ballots:

• Do not mail your completed paper ballot to APFA HQ’s
• Do not bring your paper ballot 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.

Once the National Ballot Committee certifies the election results, a hotline will be sent to the BOS membership.

In Solidarity,
