In elections at conventions at which nominations are also made,
delegates who have been elected by secret ballot must be given ample
opportunity to nominate candidates on behalf of themselves or the
members they represent. A union may adopt a rule limiting access to the
convention floor to delegates. However, once the candidates have been
nominated, they
must be accorded equal opportunity to campaign. \36\ Where delegates are
instructed by locals to nominate candidates, the constitution of the
organization or the convention rules should provide a specific procedure
for the implementation of nominating instructions issued by any local to
its delegate.
