Article 233
 

§ 1 Mandates obtained by a list of candidates are assigned in order of the number of votes received.


§ 2 If two or more candidates receive an equal number of votes entitling each of them to obtain a mandate from the list, priority is given to the candidate who received a greater number of votes in circuits, and if the number of these circuits were to be equal, priority shall be resolved by conducting a lottery draw by the chairperson of the district electoral commission, in the presence of committee members and the legal representative; the absence of the legal representatives does not hinder the draw being conducted. The result of the lottery shall be recorded in the protocol of the election results.


§ 3 The procedures for conducting the lottery referred to in § 2, shall be determined by the National Electoral Commission.
