The number of lists nominated by MPs groupings is not limited. Only the lists, which obtain the highest number of support signatures on each side of the political spectrum, are presented for a vote by the Assembly. Although the largest political parties in the parliamentary majority and opposition cannot participate in the nomination of the lists of candidates, they participate in the signature support and Assembly voting, which gives them considerable influence on deciding who, among the MPs from the smaller parties allied to them will eventually obtain the fifth and sixth seats on the CEC. It is understood that the Assembly then votes on the individuals nominated on the lists which obtained the highest number of signatures on each side of the political spectrum, hence on at least two names for each of the two remaining seats. In case of a tie in the number of support signatures, the Assembly votes on all individuals nominated on these lists.
