Sec. 452.25  Vacancies in office.

    Title IV governs the regular periodic elections of officers in labor 
organizations subject to the Act. No requirements are imposed with 
respect to the filling by election or other method of any particular 
office which may become vacant between such regular elections. If, for 
example, a vacancy in office occurs in a local labor organization, it 
may be filled by appointment, by automatic succession, or by a special 
election which need not conform to the provisions of title IV. The 
provisions of section 504 of the Act, which prohibit certain persons 
from holding office, are applicable to such situations. While the 
enforcement procedures of section 402 are not available to a member in 
connection with the filling of an interim vacancy, remedies may be 
available to an aggrieved member under section 102 of the Act or under 
any pertinent State or local law.
