(a) If applicable, the labor organization that requested the election pursuant to NRS 288.525;

(b) If applicable, the labor organization that is presently designated as the exclusive representative of the bargaining unit;

(c) Any other labor organization that, on or before the date that is prescribed by the rules adopted by the Board, files with the Board a written request to be placed on the ballot for the election and includes with the written request a list of its membership or other evidence showing that the labor organization has been authorized to serve as a representative by at least 30 percent of the employees within the bargaining unit; and

(d) A choice for “no representation.”
