The governor of the province or the officer which has been appointed by the governor, compliant with the Council of burgomasters and lay judges divide the voters of each electoral district into sections and determine the order of the section in each district. These sections are organized per municipality of that district.

Compliant with this Council, he appoints to each of the sections distinct rooms for the vote. He may, if the number of sections makes it necessary, appoint several rooms in the same edifice.

In case of a disagreement between the Council and the governor of the province or a magistrate he appoints, over the distribution of the voters into sections and the chosen rooms, the Interior Minister makes a decision.

In the electoral cantons of Fourons and Comins-Warneton, the competences given to the governor or to his deputy in the previous sentences, are executed by the commissioner of the municipality of Tongres and the commissioner of the municipality of Mouscron, respectively.
