# §452.34. Application of section 504, LMRDA.


The eligibility of members of labor organizations to be candidates and to hold office in such organizations is subject only to the provisions of [section 504(a)](/cfr/29/504.md?p=a), which bars individuals convicted of certain crimes from holding office in labor organizations 23 and to reasonable qualifications uniformly imposed. A person who is barred from serving in union office by [section 504(a)](/cfr/29/504.md?p=a) is not eligible to be a candidate. However, a labor organization may permit a person who is barred from holding union office by [section 504(a)](/cfr/29/504.md?p=a) to be a candidate for office if the [section 504](/cfr/29/504.md) disability will terminate by the customary date for the installation of officers. A labor organization may within reasonable limits adopt stricter standards than those contained in [section 504(a)](/cfr/29/504.md?p=a) by extending the period of disability or by barring from union office persons who have been convicted of crimes other than those specified.
