It is time to vote in the 2010 State Bar of Michigan elections. This year, elections are being held for positions on the Board of Commissioners, Representative Assembly, Young Lawyers Executive Council, and the Judicial Tenure Commission.

All active members are eligible to vote in the Judicial Tenure Commission election. Eligibility to vote in the other contested elections is dependent upon your address of record. Your ballot will reflect the elections for which you are eligible to vote.

The primary means of voting in this year’s election is electronic. This process will allow all active members to vote securely online at the State Bar of Michigan website. The new process saves money, is more environmentally conscious, and will be more convenient for members.

SBM members who currently have e-mail addresses on file will receive an e-mail with internet voting instructions. SBM members who do not have an e-mail address on file will receive a paper ballot in the mail.

Paper ballots must be postmarked by June 15, 2010. Electronic voting ends at 12 midnight EST on June 15, 2010. Results of the elections will be posted on the State Bar of Michigan website in July.
