Notice to Voters:
Electronic Voting at International Congress
​
​
Beginning this year, the International Congress will conduct voting electronically. The electronic voting system is set up by the Information Technology Department under the Executive Office and monitored by the Election Committee to ensure a secure, accurate, and fair process. All voters must register for iCongress, be verified, and be an official delegate of the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith, Inc. Eligible voters will receive a single-use ticket that allows only one ballot submission. Voting will take place at a monitored electronic voting station. After voting concludes, all tickets will be reconciled with electronic vote totals before final results are reviewed and officially reported by the Election Committee. A paper ballot will be available in the event of an internet outage.
