"In an effort to make voting more convenient, we are introducing another option for members to cast their vote when a ballot is available. The new voting option allows the member to access the balloting system through the ALPA crewroom website. By virtue of being able to access the crewroom site, the member will be able to pass through to the balloting site in a few simple steps without having to enter different voter credentials. (NOTE: Any member wanting to vote via phone or directly on the ballotpoint website will still need to use the voter credentials established with the balloting vendor.)

Nomination ballots will be mailed the first week of September to all members of local councils who are to nominate representatives for the term of office beginning on March 1, 2010. As a member, you are responsible for determining the nominee's willingness to serve prior to nomination. The nominee must declare his willingness to serve in writing to the Local Council Chairman, or his designee, prior to the adjournment of the Council meeting in order for their name to to appear on the election ballot. A declaration by fax, email, or marking of the willingness-to-serve box on the nominating ballot envelope will be acceptable. Nominees must be Active, Executive Active, or Grievance Pending members in good standing of your council and in the same Status (Captain, First Officer, etc.) as those members that he/she would represent"
