Paragraph 53
 

The election of the Chairperson of the CEC is relatively straightforward. First, “the parliamentary group of the biggest party of the parliamentary majority submits to the Assembly a list of no less than four candidacies”. Then, “the parliamentary group of the biggest party of the parliamentary opposition selects two from the four candidacies proposed”. The Assembly votes on the remaining two candidates and the candidate who “obtains more than half of the votes of the Assembly deputies is elected as the CEC Chairperson”. The Deputy Chairperson of the CEC is elected by the CEC from within the six CEC members.
