A political party or voters who nominate more than one candidate for member of the municipal council in the constituency must determine the candidates or candidate lists in a manner such that each gender comprises at least 40% of the candidacies or positions on the candidate list, and distribute their candidates or the candidates in the first half of the list of candidates alternately by gender.

The provision of paragraph one of this Article shall not apply to lists of candidates with only three candidates, whereby lists containing three candidates must include at least one representative of each gender.
