Make Your Vote Count Twice
Board members of the Ohio Public Employees Retirement
System Board (OPERS) are also board members of the Ohio Deferred Compensation
Board. So, when you vote for the OPERS Board, your vote counts twice, which
makes it all the more important to vote.
This year’s elections will be held to choose Board representatives for state
employees, non-teaching college/ university employees, municipal employees, and
retired members. Those elected will serve four-year terms beginning January 1,
2007. OPERS is scheduled to mail ballots, and voting will take place between
August 25 and September 29. The election count is scheduled for Monday, October
2, 2006. Final results will be certified by the Secretary of State’s office.
