Access information for reviewing proposed amendments to the AMO National Constitution and casting an online vote was sent by email by TrueBallot to American Maritime Officers members and applicants over Labor Day weekend. On September 28, TrueBallot will send the same information again by email to all AMO members and applicants who have not yet voted in the referendum.
A copy of the AMO National Constitution detailing the proposed amendments in red and green type is available on the AMO website and on the TrueBallot landing page. Additionally, on September 5, a copy of the AMO National Constitution detailing the proposed amendments in red type with strikethrough markings and bold green type was added to the TrueBallot landing page for the referendum and to the AMO website based upon a request. Both can be accessed on the AMO website.

In your message, please include your full name and book or applicant number, and a note that you did not receive a balloting email from TrueBallot. If possible, please send the email using the email account you have on file with AMO, which will be the same email address TrueBallot is using to contact you with voting access.
The online referendum will conclude September 30. Only votes cast by those who are AMO members in good standing at the conclusion of the referendum will be counted. All AMO members will need to have their dues paid in full through the current quarter prior to September 30 to establish good standing and for their ballots to be counted.
AMO members who are not sure if they are in good standing can contact National Secretary-Treasurer Bob Rice by text message at 954-295-6160 over the weekend prior to September 30, or call him at the same number, so their status can be checked in the AMO database.
