Absentee Ballot Procedures

1. Pre-printed applications for absentee ballots, listing the aforementioned qualifications, shall be mailed by the local or district. Candidates running for office also may make forms available.

2. A written request for an absentee ballot must be delivered by the requestee either in person or by official government mail to the recording secretary not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the election.

3. If they Bylaws permit, absentee ballot requests may also be submitted to an email address dedicated for that purpose and provide the notice of nomination and election included the email address. Such emailed requests must be submitted not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the election.

4. The recording secretary and secretary-treasurer shall verify the reason indicated by the member for requesting an absentee ballot at the time the request is received. Within 5 business days from receipt of any such request or receipt of printed ballots, whichever is later, the recording secretary and secretary treasurer shall mail the ballot if the member is eligible to vote by absentee ballot. In the event the recording secretary or secretary-treasurer determines that the member is not eligible to vote by absentee ballot, he/she shall advise the member that the request for an absentee ballot has been denied and the reason for that determination within five (5) business days of the receipt of the request, so that the member has adequate notice of the need to vote in person.

5. When an eligible member receives an absentee ballot, that ballot must be executed in accordance with the terms of the IAM Constitution and mailed by official government mail so that it will be received by or prior to the closing of the polls, as specified in the notice of election. The absentee ballots shall then be turned over to the tellers.

6. Under no circumstances may absentee ballots be bundled or returned together. The absentee ballot must be returned by the member through official government mail in its own envelope.
