As a member-based organization, each chapter of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, Local 59, is governed by an executive board made up of representatives of their respective memberships elected by the members of each chapter. Each position serves a two-year term.

For this round of elections, we will conduct the vote entirely by paper ballot. Paper ballots will be mailed to all MFE members in good standing on April 27th. Returned ballots must be postmarked by May 8th & received by May 12th. If you have not received your ballot by May 4th, please contact support@directvote.net or 952-974-2339.
