Are mail in ballots the only way to vote on our contract?

[QUOTE="tardus, post: 1097805, member: 18896"] I think that the reason that they use the mail-in ballots is that they are carefully controlled so that the voting is fair with only union members voting, and voting only once. The ballots are mailed only to union members who must use the prescribed return envelope to identify their ballot as legitimate. This type of union vote comes under federal regulations to ensure that they are fair and impartial. If ballots were distributed and collected on site, it would be very difficult to control who was voting and how many times. Voting by mail is very easy. (I wish that we could vote by mail in the state and national political elections.) The Union mails the contract ballot to your home and even provides a postage-paid envelope in which to return the ballot. I never understood why an employee would not bother to vote on the contract.
