In Article 21, paragraph 2, the words: "at least 500 voters" are replaced by the words: "at least 1 500 voters".

After paragraph 2, new paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 are added and read:

"The person authorised to represent an independent slate, in accordance with the provisions of this Act, shall be the first candidate on the slate.

The independent slate shall include the same number of candidates as the number of representatives elected to the Parliament.

If the person making the nomination proposes fewer candidates than the number of representatives to be elected to the Parliament, in other words, if the requirement referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article is not met, the independent slate shall not be valid."
