A historic low turnout marked the UAW’s second direct election of officers, with fewer than 10 percent of eligible voters participating, according to the court-appointed monitor. The results reflect a significant drop from past elections, raising questions about member engagement and the union’s internal dynamics. With nearly 100,000 ballots cast, the outcome may signal shifting priorities or disillusionment among rank-and-file members. Critics and supporters alike will scrutinize whether this reflects broader challenges within the union’s governance structure.
According to the court-appointed monitor, 99,670 ballots were cast in the UAW’s second-ever direct election of officers — representing less than 10 percent of those eligible to vote.
