Up-coming Board Elections
Board members of the Ohio Deferred Compensation Board
are also Board members of the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System Board (OPERS).
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 for three seats on the OPERS and Ohio Deferred
Compensation Boards of Trustees will be held in September. Active county and
miscellaneous employees, as well as retirees, will have the opportunity to take
part in these elections.
• Voting materials will be sent out on August 28, and must be received back by
October 2. If only one candidate runs for a seat, no voting will be held for
that election.
• The election count will take place on October 5 and be certified by the Ohio
Secretary of State’s office. Those elected will serve a four-year term beginning
in January 2010.
• In 2010, additional elections will take place for active state, municipal, and
non-teaching college and university employees, as well as a second retiree seat
on the Board.
