Sec.5-273-17. Election; terms and conditions

(a) If the board or the agent determines that an election shall be held, it shall order that such election or elections shall be conducted by the agent, an assistant agent, or by such other person as may be designated by the board.

(b) All elections shall be held at such times and places and upon such terms or conditions as the board or the agent may specify. All elections shall be by secret ballot.

(c) The employees eligible to vote shall be those on the payroll on the date of the filing of the petition or such other date as the board or the agent may order upon the showing of extraordinary circumstances or by consent of the parties, and who remain on the payroll on the date of the election.

(d) At least seven (7) days prior to the election, or at least three (3) weeks prior thereto in cases where units exceed five hundred (500) employees, the employer shall furnish, to each interested organization which is a party to the proceeding, a list of the names and addresses of the employees in the appropriate unit who were on the payroll on the date of the filing of the petition, or such other date as the board or the agent may order upon the showing of extraordinary circumstances or by consent of the parties, and who are on the payroll at the time of the submission of the list.

(e) At least three (3) business days prior to the election, the employer shall post, in conspicuous places where the employees eligible to vote customarily assemble, copies of the notice of election as provided by the board. Failure to post election notices as required herein shall constitute grounds for the filing of timely objections pursuant to subsection (b) of section 5-273-20 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent an employer from posting such notices earlier.
