Part 452

General Statement Concerning the Election Provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959

Subpart E

Candidacy for Office; Reasonable Qualifications

• Section Number: 452.52
• Section Name: Filing fee.

    It would be unreasonable to require candidates for office to pay a 
filing fee because a fee limits the right of members to a reasonable 
opportunity to nominate the candidates of their choice and there is no 
objective relationship between the requirement and the ability to 
perform the duties of the office.
