Section 391-25-570. Procedure following inconclusive election.

In any election in which there are more than two choices on the ballot, if none of the choices receives the number of votes necessary to determine the election, a run-off election shall be held providing for selection between the two choices receiving the largest numbers of valid ballots cast in the inconclusive election. Any organization to be excluded from a run-off election may file objections to specific conduct affecting the results of the inconclusive election. Where the choice of "no representative" is to be excluded from a run-off election, the employer or decertification petitioner may file objections to specific conduct affecting the results of the inconclusive election. Such objections shall be resolved prior to the conduct of a run-off election. All run-off elections shall be determined as provided in WAC 391-25-530.
