Department of Labor Extends Deadline to Nov. 25
November 10, 2008
The U.S. Department of Labor, which is supervising a re-run election of the race for Clerk Division National Business Agent for the Dallas Region, has announced it will extend the deadline for returning ballots until 10:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Ballots for the re-run election were initially sent to eligible voters on Oct. 21, 2008, but it was discovered that some of the mailings mistakenly included a single-window business reply envelope for returning the ballots, rather than a double-window business reply envelope. New ballots were mailed on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
Members can return either the original ballot or the new ballot. If a voter returns both ballots, only the new (blue) ballot will be counted.
The election is a re-run of a contest originally held in November 2007, as part of the election of more than 80 national officers.
