Paragraph 28
 

In the case of open-list systems, the voters express their own preference(s) by determining the position of each candidate on the list which they compose. Additionally, the single transferable vote, cross-voting (panachage) and open or blank lists, when applied to the letter, inherently incorporate a system for allocating seats within lists.
