Subpart F

Nominations for Office

• Section Number: 452.58
• Section Name: Self-nomination.

    A system of self-nomination, if this is the only method for making 
nominations, deprives union members of a reasonable opportunity to 
nominate candidates and thus is inconsistent with the provisions of 
title IV. \34\ Self-nomination is permissible only if the members are 
afforded additional methods whereby they may nominate the candidates of 
their choice.
