PURPOSE: This rule describes the posting of notice of election, contents of notice of election and improper use of notice of election.
(1) Appropriate notices of election shall be furnished to all interested parties, and shall be prominently posted by the public employer, no less than six (6) days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, prior to opening of the polls. Such notice shall contain—
- (A) The date, hours and place of election;
- (B) The eligibility period;
- (C) The details and procedures for an election;
- (D) The appropriate units; and
- (E) A sample ballot.
- (2) The reproduction of any document purporting to be a copy of the board’s official ballot, other than one (1) completely unaltered in form and content and clearly marked “sample” on its face, which suggests either directly or indirectly to employees that the board endorses a particular choice, may constitute grounds for setting aside an election upon objections properly filed.
- (3) The public employer shall furnish to the board a list including the names and addresses of all eligible voters in the unit as determined by the board or agreed to by the parties. This list must be supplied to the board fourteen (14) working days prior to the election, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, or as specified in the Direction of Election.
