- The cancellation filing automatically suspends the election
- The union must first obtain the employer’s consent
- The election must stop whenever fraud is alleged, even without a ruling
- The pending cancellation petition neither bars filing nor suspends certification-election proceedings
- Registration automatically disappears when challenged
