The USU was granted the ability to conduct another ballot of members in relation to a Protected Action Ballot.  With the unforeseen lockdown at the end of June having a significant adverse impact on participation the first time around, this ballot will be conducted electronically via the Australian Election Company.  You will receive emails and/or text messages with links to the ballot.
 
Please be reminded that voting YES to all items on the ballot, even if the item doesn’t apply to your circumstances, is EQUALLY as important as voting in the first place.
 
Please see below for a timetable of the ballot process.
