REPORT OF UAW LOCAL 2865 ELECTION COMMITTEE Pursuant to the UAW Local 2865 Bylaws, UAW Constitution and the UAW Election Guide, balloting for UAW Local 2865’s Constitutional officers took place on April 26, 27, and 28, 2011. The initial tally of ballots occurred on April 29 and 30, 2011. On April 30, 2011 tallying was suspended as it was impossible to maintain quorum of the Elections Committee.
During an elections committee conference call on May 3, 2011 the elections committee voted to allow counting to continue with a minority of the elections committee present, due to scheduling conflicts. Tallying resumed on May 5, 2011, and continued through May 8, 2011. At the elections committee’s recommendation, the opposing slates participated in mediation on May 5 and 6, 2011 in an attempt to reduce the number of potential challenges. The mediation failed.
During the course of the voting and tallying of ballots, various parties made numerous objections and challenges. Due to the number and seriousness of the challenges and objections, the full Elections Committee (via conference call) decided on May 6, 2011 to count all of the ballots where voter intent was clear to all sides rather than resolve the challenges and objections.
As a result, the Elections Committee (via conference call) also unanimously decided on May 8, 2011 that adjudicating all challenges and objections is beyond the expertise of the Elections Committee and that these challenges and objections should be adjudicated and resolved as per the process outlined in UAW 2865’s bylaws, UAW Constitution and the UAW Election Guide.
Attached to this Report are a number of appendices. They include the official ballot tally and canvass that records the results without any findings on the challenges and objections. The specific challenges and objections as recorded when they were made are set forth below. Also attached is the inventory of all ballot material. This inventory was conducted on Thursday May 5, 2011, before counting resumed.
The Elections Committee unanimously approved this report and its appendices via conference call on May 8, 2011. On April 6, 2015, the Election Committee voted to release a modified version of this report in which some names noted in the complaints have been removed. These changes are marked as [redacted] in the text. No other changes have been made.

Appendix IV. Spoiled Ballots Note: Due to the number and seriousness of the challenges and objections, the full Elections Committee (via conference call) decided on May 6, 2011 to count all of the ballots where voter intent was clear to all sides, including spoiled ballots and challenge ballots, as long as the ballot was not spoiled at the polling location. Below is the list of all ballots spoiled at the polling location.

Notes:
22
- Empty cells are due to incomplete information. However, all campuses had enough information to perform at least one of two consistency checks. - The pre-mediation spoiled and challenge ballots on May 5 (K,L) may vary from the amount previously noted (H,I) because of changes in the status of ballots during the count (e.g. a secret ballot env. was opened and a spoiled ballot was found during the count). - UCLA boxes were only opened on May 5. - Santa Cruz ballot box summary form and campus tally sheet were lost, so each category of ballot was recounted on May 5. - Challenges counted here and inventoried on the next sheet do not account for whole box challenges at Berkeley (1,6,8,13-18). - Challenges counted here include 44 ballots (42 loose, 2 with envelopes) in UCLA box #2.
