In order to receive a ballot as an eligible voter, you must have been an active employee as of May 29, 2026 and had your correct address on file.
There are no eligible voter email addresses on file with the independent election administrator. Therefore, all ballots and replacement ballots are mailed to eligible voters’ address of record.
If an eligible voter has not received their ballot package by September 29, 2026, they can contact the independent election administrator’s help desk and a replacement ballot will be mailed to their address of record. Eligible voters can call HMEPS if they need the help desk contact information.
