Section 117
 

Right of change 


With the consent of the board of a party, it is possible to deviate from the results of the vote by members by at most one fourth of the number of candidates nominated by the party (right of change). Even in that case, at least half of the candidates that the party nominates shall be those who received the most votes in the vote by members.


When exercising the right of change, a person who cannot be nominated as a candidate due to ineligibility, refusal or other similar reason is not counted in the results of the vote by members.
