2025 UPTE Convention & CWA Convention Delegate Election Results

The voting period to elect your convention delegates to the 2025 UPTE Convention and the 80th Communications Workers of America (CWA) National Convention has concluded. We extend our gratitude to all candidates for their participation.

All statewide members in good standing were eligible to vote in the CWA Delegate Election. For chapters that did not have a contested UPTE delegate election, UPTE members were only asked to vote for the CWA Convention delegates. This election was held electronically and managed by ElectionBuddy. Final certification of these results will occur ten days after the election's conclusion.

We are thrilled to announce the elected delegation representing your chapter at this year's UPTE Convention, which will be held in San Diego, California, from Saturday, September 6, to Sunday, September 7, 2025. The 80th CWA National Convention will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from Monday, August 11, through Tuesday, August 12, 2025.

The voting period ran from Monday, June 2, to Monday, June 9, 2025.

Below, you will find a listing of all tentative results for the delegate candidates for the 2025 UPTE and 80th CWA conventions:
