Section P16
 

  1. If, in the case of a group of lists, a candidate elected in this way appears on more than one list or set of identical lists, he shall be deemed to have been elected for the list or set of identical lists on which he has obtained the highest number of votes, in so far as sufficient seats have been awarded to that list or set of identical lists. If the numbers are the same, he shall be deemed to have been elected for the list submitted in the electoral district with the lowest number or for the set of identical lists to which the list submitted in the electoral district with the lowest number belongs.


 



  1. If sufficient seats have not been awarded to any of the lists or sets of identical lists on which the elected candidate appears, he shall nonetheless be awarded a seat in respect of the list or set of identical lists on which he has obtained the highest number of votes. The seat which was last awarded in accordance with sections P 12 or P 13 to one of the lists or sets of identical lists of the group shall therefore be withheld.
