Article 63
 

Representatives of the councils of national minorities elected in the units pursuant to the provisions of the Constitutional Act on the Rights of National Minorities shall be elected in such a way so that the territory of the whole unit forms one electoral constituency.

All validly nominated candidates shall be stated on the electoral list according to the alphabetical order of their last names.

The candidates who have won the highest number of votes of the voter who went to the polls, depending on the number of members of the council of a national minority that is to be elected in a certain unit, shall be elected as members of the council of a national minority.

The elected representative to the council of a national minority whose term of office ends before its regular expiration shall be replaced by the first next non-elected candidate with the highest number of votes won.
