Ballots
Hard copy ballots (“absentee ballots”) were mailed out last week by First Class mail to members’ primary addresses on file with FIPPOA. FIPPOA members who are concerned about not receiving their ballots by regular mail can request replacement ballots (“email ballots”) by sending an email to cm@fippoa.org.

Voting Options
There are three ways to vote:
  1. You can vote in person at the Fall Meeting on September 26th. Members choosing to vote at the Fall Meeting must use the ballot that they receive at the meeting. Do not bring your absentee or email ballot.
  2. You can send your absentee ballot, or you can print and send your email ballot, by U. S. Mail to FIPPOA / OFFICIAL BALLOT, PO Box 5305, Fire Island Pines, NY 11782.
  3. You can drop off your absentee or email ballot in the Pines Post Office lobby in the postage-free mailbox labeled ‘Local Mail (Pines Groups).’

Deadline
Absentee and email ballots must be received by Friday, September 25, 2020. FIPPOA is not responsible for the timely receipt of ballots sent by mail.

One Household, One Vote
If you vote by mail, you may not vote at the Fall Meeting on September 26th.

Membership
If you haven't renewed your FIPPOA membership, or if you would like to sign up as a new member, please go to our Membership page to sign up today. Only current FIPPOA members can vote in the election.
