Part 452

General Statement Concerning the Election Provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959

Subpart E

Candidacy for Office; Reasonable Qualifications

• Section Number: 452.33
• Section Name: Persons who may be candidates and hold office; elections at conventions.

    Where elections of national or international labor organizations or 
of intermediate bodies are held at a convention of delegates elected by 
secret ballot, protection of the right to be a candidate and to hold 
office is afforded by the requirement in section 401(f) that the 
convention be conducted in accordance with the constitution and bylaws 
of the labor organization insofar as they are not inconsistent with the 
provisions of title IV. If members in good standing are denied the right 
to be candidates by the imposition of unreasonable qualifications on 
eligibility for office such qualifications would be inconsistent with 
the provisions of title IV.
