Answer - B - Votes can be challenged by the union representative or by management only before the votes goes into the ballot box.

Key Takeaway: To be eligible to vote in the election, an employee must have worked during the pay period prior to the election and must be employed by the business on the day of the election. During the election, representatives of the employer and the union may challenge the eligibility of any vote before it is placed in the ballot box. These votes are set aside, and if it is possible that the challenged votes would change the result of the election, the NLRB will determine whether they are valid after the election ends.
