Establishment of cantonal boards

Within eight days of the publication of the resolution referred to above, the members of the cantonal boards shall appear for swearing in before the electoral adviser appointed by the Tribunal or the police authority of the respective location.

When establishing the cantonal boards, the election adviser or the police authority shall receive the vote of each person appointed as a presiding member, or if absent, that of their substitute, for the positions of chairman and secretary. Those receiving the most votes cast by those present shall be deemed elected; in the event of a tie, the winner shall be determined by casting lots. Next, the working location and times shall be announced. This determination may change subsequently, but the change shall not take effect until two days after notification in the manner stipulated in this Act.

The absence of one or more individuals appointed as full members and their respective substitutes shall not prevent the establishment of the boards, provided that at least two of its members have appeared, without prejudice to the completion of the swearing in afterwards.
