FAQ - CERA/CERV Renewal
- How do I renew my CERA/CERV status?
Access the Application for Renewal or contact The Election Center at (281) 293-0101 or e-mail services@electioncenter.org
- How do I know when my CERA/CERV will expire?
You can check your certification status on our website listing. This date is also noted on your CERA/CERV certificate.
- How often do I need to renew my CERA/CERV and what is the deadline?
You must renew every three years by December 31. If your graduation date is 8/13/2010, you should renew your status by submitting an Application for Renewal by 12/31/2013.
- What happens if I miss the deadline for renewal?
You will not be listed as an active CERA/CERV graduate until your renewal is brought up to date.
- What if I am unable to attend a required course or event during the renewal period?
Failure to maintain continuing education and other requirements as
specified in the PEP manual or by the Certification Board, will be grounds for losing your
CERA/CERV/CEM status. Once the CERA/CERV/CEM status has been lost, you
will have to make up courses missed AND attendance at events missed in
order to be re-certified. No substitutions can be made for
required courses.
- What happens when my Application for Renewal is approved?
You will receive a letter confirming your renewal status from the CERA Administrator's
office. The annual renewal recognition luncheon occurs every April at the
Election Center workshop event. Renewal certificates and lapel pins are awarded
at that time. If you are not able to attend the recognition luncheon, your certificate and
lapel pin will be mailed to you immediately after the April workshop.
