Elections must be conducted by secret ballot. Voters can cast one vote for each candidate. If there is a tie for the final position, the winner will be determined by lot. If the number of candidates is less than or equal to the number of positions, the candidates will be acclaimed. If all elected positions are not filled, the council can appoint additional people or choose to operate with vacancies.
Appointments are by majority vote.
