Parliament's Rules of Procedure
Rule 15 – paragraph 1
Rule 15 – paragraph 1
The Vice-Presidents shall then be elected on a single ballot paper. To be valid, the ballot paper must show that more than half the available votes have been used. Those who on the first ballot, up to the number of 14, secure an absolute majority of the votes cast shall be declared elected in order of the number of votes obtained. If the number of candidates elected is less than the number of seats to be filled, a second ballot shall be held under the same conditions to fill the remaining seats. Should a third ballot be necessary, a relative majority shall suffice for election to the remaining seats. In the event of a tie the oldest candidates shall be declared elected.
