Voter register and certification of voters
Only those UNAA members who have been verified by the UNAA BoT and the UNAA Treasurer as having paid their membership by August 1, 2017 appear on the voter register. Members in good standing who were certified to vote off-site and those who voted (either off-site or on-site), in the previous election, have been certified by the UNAA EC to vote in the repeat election and are indicated with a “Y” next to their names. All other members, on the register, have an “N” next to their names indicating that additional documents are required prior to certification.

The required documents are:
1) a copy of a US government issued ID (e.g., passport, state ID, drivers license) and, 2) a copy of a recent utility bill with a visible name and physical address. These documents should be submitted, using the link https://form.jotform.us/72237194032148, by January 23, 2018.
