29 CFR 452.116 - Determining validity of ballots.

  • Section Number: 452.116
  • Section Name: Determining validity of ballots. 
    Generally, a labor organization has a right to establish reasonable 
rules for determining the validity of ballots cast in an election. 
However, where the union has no published guides for determining the 
validity of a voted ballot, it must count any ballot voted in such a way 
as to indicate fairly the intention of the voter. An entire ballot may 
not be voided because of a mistake made in voting for one of the offices 
on the ballot.
