Although the application of the Act is limited to the activities of
persons and organizations within the territorial jurisdiction of the
United States, \14\ an international, national or intermediate body is
not exempted from the requirements of the Act by virtue of the
participation of its foreign locals or foreign membership in its
elections. For example, votes received from Canadian members in
referendum elections held by an international must have been cast under
procedures meeting the minimum requirements of the Act, and Canadian
delegates participating at conventions of the international at which
officers are elected must have been elected by secret ballot.
