In any election in which there are three or more choices on the ballot, if none of the choices receives the number of votes necessary to determine the election, a run-off election must be held providing for selection between the two choices receiving the largest numbers of valid ballots cast in the inconclusive election. Any organization 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. Any objections must be resolved before a runoff election is conducted. All run-off elections must be determined as provided in WAC 391-25-530.
