Structure Nominations are invited each year for President and Vice-President. Each is voted upon and designated a year ahead. Each nomination needs to be signed by five ministerial and five lay members of the Representative Session of the Conference. Nominations are collected during the first three days of that Session and displayed for 24 hours before a vote is taken.
Voting is by single transferable vote.
Voters do not chose one name only but mark all the names in order of preference. In this way if their first choice is not elected, they may influence the voting for an alternative. Each holds office for one year.
