Unless otherwise directed by SMCS, to be eligible to vote in an election, employees must be employed in the voting unit as of the cutoff date for voter eligibility, and still employed on the date they cast their ballots in the election. Unless otherwise ordered by the Director, the cutoff date for voter eligibility is established by the payroll period immediately preceding the date the petition was filed. Employees who are ill, on vacation, on leave of absence or sabbatical, temporarily laid off, and employees who are in the military service of the United States shall be eligible to vote. Mailed ballots may be utilized to maximize the opportunity of such voters to cast their ballots.
