The NMB will retain the Telephone Electronic Voting (TEV) system it currently uses, and employees will have the option of voting via either TEV or the Internet. According to the NMB’s announcement, the agency believes that offering Internet voting in addition to TEV will enhance its ability to conduct representation elections fairly and effectively.
