This is a reminder that if you have not already voted in the IMO National Ballot for Industrial Action you should do so now. 

 

Detailed instructions on the ballot process are set out below:

 

1. Have a look in your email inbox for an email from Mi-Voice who are conducting the ballot on behalf of the IMO. Within the email is a link to the Mi-Voice voting page. Please check your spam folder as well. The email address the mi-voice email will come from is elections@mi-voice.com . 
2. Within the email, and on the ballot page, you will see instructions on how to vote and information about the ballot. You should read the instructions carefully as you can only vote once, and you cannot change your vote later.
3. On your ballot paper you should choose the box either in favour or against, depending on how you wish to vote.
4. Once you’ve selected your vote, you should click the green button, “Next step” which will be visible towards the bottom of the screen.
5. You will be taken to a summary page that sets out how you have elected to vote. Once you have reviewed your selection and you’re ready to cast your vote, you should click the button that reads: “Cast My Vote Now”.
6. If you want to receive an email that confirms your vote has been submitted, you should enter your email address in the “Would you like us to send you a receipt?” box on the following page. You won’t receive your receipt immediately, but it will normally be received within two hours.
7. Please note that the ballot will close at 5pm on Monday 21st September. The IMO is recommending a YES vote in this ballot.

 

 

As members will be aware the ballot concerns the lack of progress on a new Public Service Agreement, the previous agreement having expired on the 30^th June, and the failure to agree local bargaining claims from the previous Public Service Agreement which had an original implementation date of September 2025. All 19 ICTU Public Sector Unions are balloting or have balloted their members on this dispute.

 

If having checked your inbox and your spam folder you have not received an email from Mi-Voice please contact us on consultants@imo.ie and we will arrange for Mi-Voice to reissue a ballot to you.
