Paper/Mail Balloting 

Paper/Mail Ballots will be used in the 2025 Base Representative Elections, the ballot packages will be mailed out on February 12, 2025, from our vendor in the New York area via USPS First Class Mail for the bases that will be holding elections. Due to mail delivery speeds, please allow up to seven (7) business days to receive your ballot and return it as soon as possible to the designated P.O. Box with the pre-addressed return envelope. We strongly suggest if you do not receive your ballot within that timeframe to immediately request a Duplicate Ballot with the YesElections Help Desk, their contact information will be published when the balloting opens.

Update Your Address With APFA

It’s extremely important to ensure we have your current address on file with APFA by January 28, 2025, 5:00 PM (CT) to ensure you receive your ballot in a timely manner. The NBC asks every member to ensure APFA has your correct mailing on file. Even though you may have updated your address with the Company, they do not share that information with APFA. This is especially important for members who moved or relocated recently.

You may update your address and other contact information with APFA by logging into the APFA.org website and clicking on ‘My Account’ and ‘Update My Info’ or you can contact the APFA Membership Department at: (817) 540-0108 or [email protected].

If you have any questions, please contact the National Ballot Committee at [email protected] or 817-540-0108 ext. #2, #8.
