Article 17
 

Alternates shall sit as members of electoral boards in the absence of regular members in accordance with the usual rules when their elections are by proportional representation or otherwise in accordance with the order in which they were elected. Should any election board not be fully manned in this manner, the board itself must summon an individual or individuals to fill the required number.

All citizens are obliged to serve if elected to an election board.
