How Can Virtual Legal Assistants Help with NLRB voter-list quality checks?
An employment virtual legal assistant can check an NLRB voter list against the employer records and group assignments counsel supplies. The review identifies missing fields, inconsistent entries and unconfirmed versions. Your attorney decides eligibility, challenged status, deadlines and release. Staff return an exception list without inferring eligibility or collecting missing personal information from unapproved sources.

What should our firm flag when NLRB list entries are incomplete?
A roster can appear complete because each row has a name while still carrying the wrong work location, a blank shift field or a person assigned to two inconsistent groups. Those defects are different from the legal question of who belongs in the voting unit.
The NLRB's July 2026 Representation Casehandling Manual, section 11312.2, identifies list fields and separate treatment of individuals permitted to vote subject to challenge. This task checks the supplied data against counsel's instructions. It does not create an election audience from public information.
Which employer data and counsel-approved assignments should we provide?
The firm supplies the relevant election agreement or direction, counsel-approved roster scope, the permitted employer export, field definitions and the named reviewer. Counsel identifies any separate challenged group and approves the applicable list format.
The assignment also defines the secure working location and authorized recipients. Private employee contact information stays there. No real roster is needed for a public demonstration, marketing list or AI test.
How should our assistant check the approved voter-list fields?
| Step | Input | Assistant action | Work product | Attorney review |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Election instructions | Record the governing document and counsel-approved list scope | Assignment control sheet | Decide eligibility scope and dates |
| 2 | Employer export | Check required columns and trace each row to its source record | Field completeness report | Resolve missing-data requests |
| 3 | Counsel group decisions | Compare eligible and challenged assignments without reclassifying anyone | Group discrepancy list | Approve every disputed assignment |
| 4 | Corrected data | Recheck changed fields and possible duplicate records | Correction history | Resolve identity and eligibility questions |
| 5 | Approved output format | Compare row counts, columns and access permissions with the reviewed version | Restricted final manifest | Authorize filing or service |
Illustrative example
A synthetic roster review uses record labels instead of identities or contact details. All labels and observations below are synthetic. This is a task demonstration, not a client matter or reported result.
| Record | Observed issue | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Row R-01 | Work location missing from export | Request approved source correction |
| Row R-02 | Appears in two counsel-assigned groups | Hold classification for counsel |
| Row R-03 | Contact field blank and availability unknown | Record unknown; do not search personal profiles |
A blank contact field is not filled by guessing or gathering information from the web. The employer and counsel decide the permitted source and the response to the gap.
Which list exceptions must our attorney resolve before release?
Return the completeness report, source-to-row map, duplicate questions, group reconciliation and the exact reviewed output version. Acceptance means every unresolved item has an assigned reviewer, and the prepared file matches the approved roster instructions. It does not mean the assistant has certified voter eligibility.
Stop the affected preparation step when the source export changes unexpectedly, a person appears under conflicting identifiers, group instructions disagree or an unauthorized recipient requests access. Do not label a person ineligible, decide a challenge, set an election date or alter the official roster independently.
Systems and review controls
Use restricted exports, limited access and a versioned correction log. Keep employee details out of filenames and public reports. Approved software can flag blanks and repeated row identifiers; a responsible reviewer checks each result. Do not upload private rosters to unapproved AI or turn them into contact databases.
Practical questions
Can the assistant decide who is eligible to vote?
No. The assistant works from counsel-approved group instructions and flags conflicts for the attorney. Job titles alone are not an eligibility decision.
May missing contact information be collected from social media?
This assignment does not authorize that collection. Record the gap and request an approved employer source through the firm's process.
What if the employer sends a replacement list?
Preserve the earlier version, compare changed rows and repeat the affected checks. Counsel approves the resulting roster and any external use.
What can the firm measure?
Count missing required fields and unresolved group conflicts per reviewed roster. Track corrections reopened after a new export. The firm defines the scope and baseline; these checks do not predict an election result or establish legal compliance.
