New Wood Staff Union strongly urges every staff member to sign this petition addressed to Mr. ِAstrit Sulstarova, President of the Polling Board, to request that he proceed with the implementation of electronic voting, which he had previously helped the New York Staff Union to implement. We also ask the present-day majority at the Council to approve granting the funds necessary for said implementation and we collectively hold that majority accountable for providing the necessary funds. The current voting procedure, which in “normal” times registered a participation rate of only about 30 %, is no longer appropriate. An alternative voting procedure is thus urgently needed.

Reason

Electronic and anonymous voting, in addition to allowing massive staff participation, is a means of giving real legitimacy to those who will be entrusted with serving the best interests of the staff. Remote working resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic is making the move to electronic voting even more urgent. Therefore, each staff member should be empowered and enabled to vote in February 2021. The ILO Staff Union, the UNHCR, Credit suisse, and other major entities and coporations all over the world, have opted for electronic voting. UNOG Polling Board has to follow suit.

Signed
