2025 Elections

This is modified from my 4/17/25 email announcing UAEA elections.

Our 2025 election nomination form is now open. You can nominate either yourself or another UAEA member for any of the open roles (Vice President, Membership Director, Resolutions Director, and 2 Citywide Representative roles) between now and Thursday, May 1st, at 5PM. If you would like to view the descriptions and responsibilities of each role, please check Articles 5 and 6 of our bylaws. Once you’ve submitted a nomination the UAEA Elections Committee (3 volunteers who are not part of the Executive Board) will review eligibility and reach out to confirm interest. 

I plan to set up a space on uaeatempe.com with photos, bios, and any information candidates would like to pass along to voters. I will also print copies of any candidate information and place it on our bulletin boards. Depending on how many people run for each role we may set up a special member’s meeting just to meet the candidates - there will also be time set aside for candidates to speak at our May 15th member’s meeting. 

Please note that City policy and State law prevent candidates from soliciting their coworkers during work hours or handing out campaign materials on City property. If candidates would like to hand out materials to City employees they must do so during hours they are not scheduled and on public sidewalks only (no sidewalks or curbs behind City fencing). Do not print any campaign material on City printers and do not do any campaign work on your City computer at any time. For that matter, do not use any City materials for any part of your campaign. If you have any questions about these restrictions or other parts of the elections process, please reach out to elections@uaeatempe.com. You can view election process information yourself on our bylaws page under the Article 8 section. 

Finally, here is our tentative schedule for our elections. This is subject to change based upon how many people run (if only one person runs for each position, for instance, we’ll wrap things up faster than this). 

Thursday, April 17th to Thursday, May 1st at 5PM: Nomination and confirmation period.

Friday, May 2nd to Sunday, June 1st at midnight: Campaigning period. 

Monday, June 2nd to Wednesday, June 3rd at midnight - Voting period

Monday, June 12th (or earlier) - Announcement of winners.
