Notices of Election

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 or type 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 in an electronic format to the board and to the labor organization(s) participating in an election an alphabetized list including the names, work addresses, employer-issued electronic mailing addresses (if applicable), and job titles of all eligible voters in the unit as determined by the board. Additional information, including the employee’s home address, may be supplied upon the voluntary written consent of any employee. This list must be supplied to the board and to such labor organization(s) fourteen (14) working days prior to the election, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. The list shall remain the property of the employer. AUTHORITY: section 295.070, RSMo 2016.* Original rule filed Dec. 31, 1975, effective Jan. 10, 1976.
