Due to technical difficulties, two categories of election voting ballots for vacant Staff Council positions were incorrectly mailed. The red and blue election ballots should be considered void. All red and blue ballots received by Staff Council will be discarded, and staff members who received these ballots will be mailed the correct sheet.

Thank you for your cooperation. If you still have a red or blue ballot, please place in your office's recycling bin.
