FAQs


  1. I am an APEGGA Member. Am I eligible to vote?

    At this time, not all classes and categories of Members may vote in Council elections. If you are an Honorary Life Member, Life Member, a Professional Member (P.Eng., P.Geol., P.Geoph.) or a Registered Professional Technologist, you may vote.

    If you are a Foreign Licensee, Provisional Licensee, Member-In-Training, Student Member, Exam Candidate, ASAP Student, or an Honorary Member, you are not entitled to vote.
     
  2. I already have an APEGGA Access Code that I use for the APEGGA Member Self-Service Centre. Can I use that Access Code to vote?

    No, as you have been assigned a special one-time use Password for voting purposes only.
     
  3. I am eligible, and want to vote but have not received a Password from APEGGA.

    Please contact APEGGA at 800-661-7020 (toll free in North America) or 780-426-3990 (Edmonton), or email us at aschuld@apegga.org, identifying yourself, and we will arrange to get your Password to you by mail. We do not send Passwords by email.
     
  4. I had a voter notice and Password, but have lost or misplaced it.

    Contact us and upon confirmation of your identification, a replacement letter will be mailed to you with the Password to vote.
     
  5. I want to vote, but do not want to use the website to register my vote.

    Please contact us by telephone, mail or email, and let us know you wish to receive election materials in paper form. To all who request it, we will provide the necessary election materials to view the candidate biographies, the issues to be voted on by resolution, if any, and a ballot together with the return envelopes to enable you to vote.
     
  6. I have voted, but have changed my mind about how I voted.

    As in any election, once your ballot is cast, your vote is final and will be counted as given.
     
  7. I have tried unsuccessfully to log in to vote on the website, and now cannot get back into the site.

    After the fourth unsuccessful log in attempt, you will be locked out for 24 hours.
     
  8. Will anyone at APEGGA know how I voted?

    No, we have set up a remote website with a third party service provider so that this cannot occur. We will know whether or not you voted, but not how you voted.
     
  9. When will I be able to vote?

    The poll and voting website will be open on Friday, February 29, 2008 and will close at 12:00 noon on Sunday, March 30, 2008.

If you have any other questions about the Council Election Voting Site, please contact APEGGA by telephone, email or letter to make us aware of your concerns and to assist you in casting your ballot.
