There is no objection to giving more notice than is required by law. However, it was clearly the intent of Congress to have members notified at a time which reasonably precedes the date of the election. For example, notice in a union publication which is expected to cover elections to be held six months later would not be considered reasonable.\n(b) Should a union change the date of an election from the date originally announced in the mail notice to the members, it must mail a second notice, containing the corrected date, at least fifteen days before the election.","path":["Title 29—Labor","Subtitle B—Regulations Relating to Labor","CHAPTER IV—OFFICE OF LABOR-MANAGEMENT STANDARDS, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","SUBCHAPTER A—LABOR-MANAGEMENT STANDARDS","PART 452—GENERAL STATEMENT CONCERNING THE ELECTION PROVISIONS OF THE LABOR-MANAGEMENT REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE ACT OF 1959","Subpart I—Election Procedures; Rights of Members"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-29.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:20Z","sha256":"0d8777d0467c72bb1a0e729057333c2c80b353ec71073b7eb52ac5b27393d2e6","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/29-cfr-452.103","next":"us/29-cfr-452.105"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
