ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE SEQUENCE OF REGIONS IN
COUNTING INTERNATIONAL OFFICER ELECTION BALLOTS
The Supplemental Rules for the Conduct of the 2021 IBT International Officer Mail-Ballot Election provide that ballots “will be counted by Local Union within each IBT region” (Section VII, 3). That same rule further states:
The Election Supervisor will announce the order in which regions will be counted, subject to the mutual agreement of the Slates. If the Slates are not able to agree, the order in which regions are counted shall be determined by lot, except that the ballots in Teamsters Canada will be counted last.
On November 10, 2021, the Office of the Election Supervisor proposed to the candidates and slates a sequence for counting ballots by region. Each slate has separately informed the Office of the Election Supervisor that it concurs in the Election Supervisor’s proposal.
Accordingly, the ballot count for the IBT International Officer Election will proceed starting on Monday, November 15, 2021, by region, in the following order:
South Region
Central Region
East Region
West Region
Teamsters Canada
Dated: November 12, 2021
Alexandria, Virginia
