OAR 115-025-0070: Notice of Election; Improper Use of Notice

(1) In cases requiring an election, the Board will provide a notice of election to the public employer for posting in the work areas granting maximum access to employees in the existing or proposed unit. The Board will require the public employer to post the notice of election for at least fourteen (14) days before the election. Notice shall be posted electronically when reasonably appropriate. The Board will also provide copies of the notice to all parties. (2) The notices will describe the details and procedures for the election, the unit, the employee eligibility period, and date(s), hour(s) and place(s) of the election. Notices also will contain a sample ballot. (3) The reproduction of any document purporting to be a copy of the Board’s official ballot, which directly or indirectly suggests to employees that the Board endorses a particular choice, may constitute grounds for setting aside an election. A reproduction that is completely unaltered in form and content and clearly marked "sample" on its face is permitted.
