Paragraph 12
 

Determination of the election result in the case of elections by majority ballot


(1) At the determination of the election result those votes that have been cast for members are counted first. Where no distinction has been made on the ballot paper between members and alternates, those listed first are regarded as members in the number permitted, and the following names as those of alternates in the number permitted. Where a ballot paper contains more names listed as representatives or alternates than the number permitted, the excess names that are listed last in order are disregarded.


(2) A name may only be listed once on each ballot paper.


(3) Those who poll most votes are elected.


(4) Those who poll most votes when the votes for members and alternates are counted together, are elected as alternates in the order shown by the number of votes cast and in such number as corresponds to that of the members.


(5) If two or more candidates poll equally many votes, the outcome is determined by lot.
