ELECTION NOTICE

In accordance with the Article VIII of the AFA-CWA Constitution & Bylaws, all Councils in Category I must nominate and elect officers for the term beginning January 1, 2023 and ending December 31, 2025 (three year term). Local Council Officers to be elected will be LEC President, LEC Vice President, LEC Secretary and three (3) Council Representatives.

Please Note: Due to the vacancies in the positions of LEC Vice President and LEC Secretary, the members elected  to these positions will be appointed to complete the current term of office which end December 31, 2022.  On January 1, 2023 all members elected will begin the 3-year term of office. 

As an active member in good standing, you have the right to nominate candidates for office, to run for office and to cast a secret ballot.

Nominations and elections are governed by procedures outlined in the Association’s Constitution & Bylaws, Article VIII and the AFA Policy Manual.

ELIGIBILITY
In order to participate in the nomination and election process a Flight Attendant must be an Active Member in Good Standing.

All active (meaning dues paying) Members in Good Standing on the count date who have cast their ballot will have their vote counted. Members who are on a leave of absence or voluntary furlough beyond 90 days much continue to pay dues beyond their leave obligation (3 months) in order to remain active with the Union and be eligible to vote. You must pay any outstanding dues before you can be made eligible to vote. 

For those who are in their AFA Apprentice Membership, your Apprentice Membership end date (4 months from the date of graduation) must be on the count date or before in order to participate in the nomination or election process.

TWO-STEP NOMINATION & ELECTION PROCESS

Nominations
The first step in the process is nominating candidates for each office. Every active AFA member in good standing is eligible to nominate one Flight Attendant to each LEC Office for their respective Local Council. There is no candidate list provided for Nominations since any active AFA member of the Local Council, who is in good standing and is committed to serve, is eligible to be nominated.

You will receive a Voting Notice and Instructions guide via postal mail which includes a personal 16-digit activation code that is required to log into the voting system in order to obtain a username and password. You will then be able to access the balloting section and cast your vote. The entire process can only be accomplished via the internet in one session, but please ensure you completely follow the instructions.

Elections
The next step in the process is electing those members who have committed to serve the membership and received at least two nomination votes. Each member in good standing is eligible to vote for one candidate for each LEC Office.

You will receive the Voting Notice & Instructions along with a Voting Guide listing the candidates running for each office. This mailing will include a new personal 16-digit activation code, and similar to the Nomination process, it will allow you to access the voting system via phone or internet to obtain a username and password and cast your ballot. Due to account security requirements you are issued a new 16-digit activation code for each election.

COMMITMENT TO SERVE
Each member who receives at least two nominations and who intends on running for office must complete a Commitment to Serve form. This form is found on the AFA Election website: afacwa.org/elections
