Announcement: Executive By-Elections

Nominations for three Executive Committee positions were opened at the August 21st General Membership Meeting.  

The positions available for nominations are: 

  • Lead Steward Unit 1 
  • Lead Steward Unit 3 
  • Lead Steward Unit 4 

As there were no General Membership Meetings (GMMs) over the summer, the position of Lead Steward Unit 1 was filled on a pro tem (temporary) basis in June. The bylaws mandate that elections must open at the next GMM following any pro tem appointment. 

All members, especially Black, First Nations, and racialized members, and members from other equity seeking groups, are strongly encouraged to run for the executive committee in fulfillment of our equity mandate.  

For descriptions of these positions, please see CUPE 3903’s bylaws (Article 9). 

Exec By-Elections Timelines

The Executive Committee by-election nomination period will run from August 21st, 2025 until September 4th at 5pm Eastern!

Following the nomination period, a campaign period of two weeks will occur. Voting on contested positions will then open on September 18th at the GMM, following the 5pm close of the campaign period. The voting period will run from September 18th (5pm) – September 23rd (5pm), and will take place via SimplyVoting. A jotform to self-nominate for Executive Committee by-elections is linked here.
