How to Request a Ballot

The email, sent to your personal email address, would have come from “HGEA Ballot” or “invitations@mail.electionbuddy.com.”

Only request a ballot after voting has started and if you have not received an electronic ballot in your email. If you are unsure about the voting timeline, refer to the HGEA eBlast or voting announcement materials before submitting a ballot request.
Requests must be received no later than two (2) hours before the electronic voting deadline.
If you are unsure about the voting timeline, refer to the HGEA eBlast or voting announcement materials.

Ratification Voting Information
HGEA holds ratifications for its bargaining units’ collective bargaining agreements (“CBA” or “contract”) and other agreements such as memorandums of agreement (“MOA”), memorandums of understanding (“MOU”), and supplemental agreements (“SA”).
When HGEA reaches a tentative agreement with the employer, a ratification notice is sent to all affected members by email. For a collective bargaining agreement ratification, all employees in the bargaining unit, including non-members, are eligible to vote and voting is usually held both electronically and in person.
If you have any questions, contact the HGEA Member Service Center
