(1) An election board shall form a quorum when fifty per cent or more of its members are present. The passing of a resolution shall require the consent of an absolute majority of the members present. In case of parity of votes, a proposal shall be deemed to be rejected.

(2) At its first session, the Central Election Board, and regional, district, divisional, and ward election boards shall choose their chairman and vice-chairman from among their members by drawing lots. The chairman and the vice-chairman of an election board shall not be representatives of the same Political Party or coalition. The drawing of lots shall be conducted by the secretary of the election board in question.

(3) Should the chairman of an election board retire from office, lots shall be drawn to choose a replacement. In such cases, the vice-chairman of the election board shall not be eligible to be selected as chairman. Should the vice-chairman of an election board retire from office, the above procedure shall also apply.
