Union Elections: Find the Right Official Guidance

Union representation elections, union officer elections and public elections serve different purposes. This older article does not identify a specific 2024 election and should not be used as current election guidance. For current procedures, use the relevant NLRB or Department of Labor guidance.

Find the right official guidance

For an election about union representation, start with the NLRB’s guidance on representation elections. For elections of union officers subject to the LMRDA, use the Department of Labor’s OLMS election resources. These are different processes, and a general website voting tool is not a substitute for the applicable election requirements.

Some older articles may need review before relying on them. Check the publication date and linked sources.
