V. ORGANISATION<br />
Article 27 Elections, other decisions, requisite majority<br />
24<br />
A. CONGRESS<br />
1 Elections shall be conducted by secret ballot.<br />
2 Any other decision that requires a vote shall be reached by a show<br />
of hands or by means of an electronic count. If a show of hands does<br />
not result in a clear majority in favour of a motion, the vote shall<br />
be taken by calling the roll, members being called in English<br />
alphabetical order.<br />
3 For the election of the President, two-thirds of the votes recorded<br />
and valid are necessary in the first ballot. In the second and any<br />
other requisite ballot, an absolute majority of the votes recorded is<br />
sufficient. If there are more than two candidates, whoever obtains<br />
the lowest number of votes is eliminated as from the second ballot<br />
until only two candidates are left.<br />
4 Unless otherwise stipulated in the Statutes, a simple majority is<br />
sufficient for a vote to be valid. The number of valid votes counted<br />
shall decide the simple majority. Abstentions are disregarded in<br />
calculating the majority.
