The most recent SEIU 1021 Localwide election was an unfair election. It was the most expensive election ever held by 1021 with the most mistakes, technical flaws and a low turnout. Overall, here are the election flaws:

• Many members did not receive ballots, despite contacting the number provided.
• The head of the election company 1021 hired is facing indictment for securities fraud.
• Election company, hired by 1021, created the computer counting programs the day of the election.
• The wrong ballots were sent to members.
• Thousands of “blank ballots” printed & were never accounted for.
• This was the longest election in history (almost 48 hours) despite spending between 80k - 200k and the machines broke down in the middle of the election (from 7 machines to 1 machine).
• Close to 1,400 ballots were returned, but no one knows where those ballots are or which members were denied the right to vote.
• There are close to 58,000 1021 members localwide, but only close to 3,400 members voted. The lowest vote turnout in 1021 history.
• The same issues were experienced during 1021's election back in 2013, but all charges were dismissed by the local, and the international.
