UUA 2017 Election Voting Information
Because there are more than two candidates, this election will be the first since 1977 to use the UUA’s instant run-off voting provision, which was added to the bylaws in 1969.
Each congregation that certified its membership by February 1 will receive delegate information in March. Our Summer issue will include detailed information about this year’s introduction of electronic ballots for on-site and absentee voting, along with candidate statements.
All three candidates are scheduled to speak at regional gatherings this spring:
- February 25, Eugene, Oregon (Pacific Northwest District Assembly);
- April 1, Bethesda, Maryland (Central East Regional Leadership Day);
- April 8, Charleston, South Carolina ( Southern Region Spring Gathering);
- April 21, Woburn, Massachusetts (New England Regional Assembly);
- April 28, Oak Brook, Illinois (Mid-America Regional Assembly); and
- May 6, Walnut Creek, California ( Pacific Central District Annual Meeting).
Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism announced that the three candidates will also speak at a forum during the BLUU Convening in New Orleans on March 11.
