SECTION 1. TNG-CWA Locals shall elect delegates to the CWA Annual Convention in accordance with the CWA and TNG-CWA Constitutions. The number of delegates to the CWA Annual Convention to which each Local Union is entitled is as follows:

(a) One delegate if the Local has less than two hundred (200) members in good standing;

(b) Two delegates if the Local has two hundred (200) or more but less than four hundred (400) members in good standing;

(c) Three delegates if the Local has four hundred (400) but less than six hundred (600) members in good standing;

(d) One additional delegate for each four hundred (400) members or major fraction thereof above six hundred (600) members.

SECTION 2. Locals shall elect their delegates on the basis of the average number of members on which dues were paid or collected by the International for the twelve (12) months ending the fifth month preceding that in which the Convention begins its session. Locals chartered less than twelve (12) months preceding the fifth month shall be averaged according to the number of months chartered. Locals chartered after the fifth month preceding the Convention shall be allowed to elect delegates in accordance with this Article on the number of members in the Local at the time it was chartered; provided, however, that duplicate representation because of a shift in membership from one Local to another shall not be allowed.

SECTION 3. Each Local may elect an alternate delegate for each delegate elected who shall attend the Convention in the event the delegate is unable to attend.

SECTION 4. Each Local shall determine the number of its delegates. A Local delegation, however, shall not exceed the maximum number as provided in Section 1 of this Article. Each Local shall assign the number of votes to which it is entitled equally among its delegates. The number of votes which may be left over after such equal division shall be assigned to the Chair of the delegation of the Local.

SECTION 5. In the event the CWA Constitution is amended so that the foregoing provisions are changed, this Constitution shall be deemed as having been automatically changed to be in conformity with any changes to the CWA Constitution.
