UUA Elections Policies and Official Information

UUA.org offers increased opportunities for informing congregations through the use of technologies such as streaming video, video posting, podcasts, and online chats. The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) will continue, as it has done in past election cycles, to oversee use of email lists related to the election.

Candidates for the offices of President, Moderator, and Financial Advisor will also be afforded the opportunity to include an item in the monthly UUA Bulletin that is sent to every congregation. For inquiries and deadline schedules please email: info @ uua.org

For purposes of these policies, the decision for determining whether a person is an “announced candidate” shall be that of the Secretary of the Association, secretary @ uua.org. Furthermore, while the UUA will use all communications vehicles at its disposal to inform Unitarian Universalists about the election, only UU World and uuworld.org may cover election campaigns as news.

We are confident that these innovative strategies for communication about UUA elections will enhance congregational involvement in the election process.
