In some cases, the NLRB may elect to have employees vote by mail.[16]

It will take the NLRB at least several weeks to determine who is eligible to vote and to schedule an election.The NLRB will then set up a polling area, usually on the employer's property, and supervise the election. Employees vote by casting paper ballots, which are counted on the spot at the end of the voting period. Voting is done by "secret" ballot, so your employer will not know which employees voted to unionize.If at least 50% of the employees vote to form a union, a union is formed.
