Ballots to be mailed Sept. 1 for 2010 AMO Election of National Officers


Ballots for the 2010 American Maritime Officers election of National Officers will be mailed to all AMO members Sept. 1 by TrueBallot Inc., the independent firm that has administered AMO elections and referendums since January 2007, and is conducting this 90-day union-wide secret ballot election.

TrueBallot will mail ballots to each AMO member at the address he or she has on file with the union. AMO will be providing TrueBallot with a current mailing list of members for the purpose of this election, as is done for each AMO election and referendum.

AMO members who would prefer their ballot be sent to an address other than the one on file with the union will need to contact Jack Branthover, special assistant to the AMO national president, and provide an alternate address.

Jack Branthover
American Maritime Officers
2 West Dixie Highway
Dania Beach, FL 33004
FAX: (954) 926-5112


The union will provide alternate addresses to TrueBallot Inc. for the mailing of ballots for AMO members who so request. As with all AMO elections and referendums administered by TrueBallot, the union itself will not be mailing, handling or processing any ballots in this election.

Ballots will be mailed to all AMO members, regardless of dues status. However, for each member's ballot to be counted in the final tally - which is scheduled for Dec. 6, 2010 - he or she must be an AMO book member in good standing and his or her dues must be paid in full through the end of the fourth quarter of the calendar year (Dec. 31, 2010) at the time the ballots are counted.
