Access Key

In the Election Buddy email, you will receive a personalized, 16-character access key. This key can only be used once.

This means:

  • You cannot forward your voting link to another member.
  • Each member must receive their own email to vote.

Below is an example of part of the email that you will receive from Election Buddy with the access key after voting opens.

If you have any questions related to the Tentative Agreement, contact Karen Caig, Labour Relations Officer and Lead Negotiator at KCaig@hsaa.ca.

If you have any questions about the voting process OR you have not received the Election Buddy email by June 2, please contact ratification@hsaa.ca for assistance.
