New election date: The Local 12 election will be held Nov. 19 between 10:00-2:00 at the Frances Perkins Building, rooms N-4437A&B, and Suitland Federal Center (5K424-425, 5th Floor, Earth Core).

Absentee ballot deadline extended! If you cannot vote in person, you can request an absentee ballot by emailing the Election Committee at afgelocal12election@gmail.com. Due to planned construction on Nov. 19 at SFC that may lead to some employees teleworking on election day, the Election Committee has offered to hand-deliver absentee ballots to member at either SFC or FPB. Requests for absentee ballots must contain:
Full name
Home address
Agency
Personal email address
Day-time telephone number
A clear statement requesting an absentee ballot
You can read the the election rules here – as revised by the Local 12 Election Committee and sent to membership on Oct. 24

Becoming a Local 12 member: If you are not currently a Local 12 member, you can become one, and be eligible to vote in the election, by signing up for e-dues on AFGE National's website here. Anyone who becomes a L12 member by Nov. 17 will be eligible to vote in the election. However, as a precautionary measure, in case you need to later provide proof that you signed up for e-dues before the deadline, we recommend you take screenshots of the e-dues sign-up process, redacting any sensitive information, and send it to the Election Committee at afgelocal12election@gmail.com
