From November 30 to December 2, you have the opportunity to help choose who will lead the Guild for the next three years. It’s an important task and we want to make sure you have a full understanding of the choices you’ll be making. To that end, here’s a quick walk-through of our online vote.

To vote during the election period, visit the CMG website at www.cmg.ca and click on the link to go to our voting site. You’ll have to log in using your nine-digit CMG identification number. If you don’t know your number, please write to vote@cmg.ca and we’ll get your number to you as quickly as we possibly can.

Once our computer system has verified your identification, you will see the Vote Selection page. You’ll see a list of links that will take you to each of the votes you’re entitled to participate in. Each time you finish a section, the system will bring you back to the Vote Selection page. Once all the votes on your list show “Submitted”, you’re done.
