Voting: The APA utilizes a hybrid balloting process for national elections. This means that an eligilbe voting member can expect to receive either an email with a link to their electronic ballot or a paper ballot sent via USPS. All voters with a valid email address on file with the APA are sent electronic ballots, while voters with invalid or missing email addresses are mailed paper ballots. Voters who have yet to cast a vote in the election are sent an electronic ballot once a week until the voting deadline. Please look for an email with "APA Election" in the subject line and ensure that the email is not read as spam. Voters receiving a paper ballot can vote online by following the instructions on their paper ballot. Eligible voting members without an electronic or paper ballot, can vote online through the APA website using their member login. If you do not know your member login or are experiencing trouble with your login, please call 1-888-35-PSYCH for assistance. Eligible voting members without a ballot and not able to vote through the APA website, can request a link to their electronic ballot by forwarding a request to election@psych.org by the ballot request deadline. The APA ensures the secure handling of ballots through the reputable third party election management firm, Survey & Ballot.
