POLLS OPEN AUG. 10 FOR
STAFF COUNCIL ELECTION

A new academic year is approaching and soon University of Houston staff members will select new voices to speak out on a variety of campus issues.

Due to an error in the electronic ballot, UH's Staff Council had rescheduled its election for Wednesday, Aug. 10. Benefits-eligible staff members may vote online at http://www.uh.edu/sc/voting between 6 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. They may also vote at the following locations between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.:

Ezekiel Cullen Building – First floor lobby
University Business Park - Building 3, Room 273
General Services Building - Room 177.

“Voting in this election reflects the staff’s commitment to issues that directly impact the campus community,” said Joe Papick, Staff Council president and director of the Graduate School of Social Work’s Child Welfare Education Program. “It also shows support for the programs and activities that Staff Council hosts each year.”

Voters will be required to submit their employee identification numbers (EIN) – located at the top of their pay stubs next to their names. Staff members may also obtain their EIN through their department or college business administrator or by contacting the Human Resources Department at 713-743-3988.

Staff members may only vote for the number of open positions available for their respective division and two At-Large candidates.
