Reminder – Late in the day on Tuesday Oct. 24, due to an error, the state had to restart the State Insurance Committee Election. Employees who voted in the election on Monday, October 23rd or Tuesday, October 24th, MUST go back and vote again.
If you voted before the change on Tuesday, your vote will not count unless you vote again.
The deadline for voting is Friday, November 3rd.
Below is the updated information for voting (originally published on Oct. 25):
IMPORTANT: Some of the information sent out by Benefits Administration about the State Insurance Committee Election has been updated. Their original information did not include all of the qualified candidates but has since been updated. This means they must restart the elections process, which also means if you already voted you will need to vote again. A new link to vote has also been created.

If you have already voted, after considering the qualifications of all eligible candidates, you will need to vote again. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Attached is a list of approved candidates, including background information they submitted on their individual resume forms.
