Please take a moment to ensure your mailing address is up to date for an important UAW runoff election this winter!
Last year, UAW members across the country voted to establish direct elections for officers of the UAW International Executive Board (IEB), including International President, Secretary-Treasurer, 3 Vice Presidents, and 9 Regional Directors. This fall, the first election under this system was held, and the vote count was concluded on December 2 (full results here). Because no candidate received a majority of votes for the office of President, or for the third Vice President position, run-off elections will be held for both those positions this winter via mail-in ballot.
To ensure you receive your ballot, please make sure the mailing address you have on file is up to date by no later than December 15, 2022. If you changed addresses in the last month, you likely need to update your record by filling out this form. Alternately, if you’ve left UW and are no longer a member, please fill out this short form. If you have any questions, email uaw4121@uaw4121.org for support.
