In general voting takes place by the members rising
from their seats, and counter voting is each time to be made.
The Chairman has the right, however, of taking the votes
by calling the roll, either before or after the voting in the
customary manner has been completed, should the result of
this latter mode appear doubtful. Four members may also
before the voting commences request, that it be done by
calling the roll. Voting by ballot takes place when S mem
bers demand it. The names of the members, who demand
the voting by roll or ballot, are to be entered In the protocol
If the Chairman should be Of the opinion that the view
of the Council on a particular motion is so manifest, that
the voting may be considered unnecessary, and II, after the
Chairman has stated his opinion OF the view OF the Counc1l,
and that he does not intend to put the motion to the vote,
no member demands the voting, the Chairman may con-
slider the matter as having been decided IN accordance with
his statement.
Elections take place by written votes, to be collected
by the Secretary. Every election ticket containing a greater
or lesser number Of names than are to be voted for, or q
name insuficiently defined, or one that is irrelevant, is null
and void.
In the written votes the Chairman must be assisted by
the Secretary.
Whenever 5 members previous to the election of MEM
bers for q Committee demand in writing, that a certain num-
Der of the members of the Committee be elected from among
divisions Of the Council, which number, however, must be
either 2, if the Committee is to consist of at least 3 members,
or 3, if the Committee is to consist of at least 5 members,
this shall be done, after the election for the other members
of the Committee has been made in the whole Council, as
follows The Chairman shall divide by the drawing OF lots
the members of the Council into so many divisions, all to
consist, as far as possible, of an equal number OF members, so
that each division can elect 1 member, and the Secretary
shall frame q list of them. Each division shall then under
the direction of its oldest member elect a Chairman by abso-
Lutte majority of votes, who has then to cause the election OF
/ member for the Committee, also by absolute majority OF
votes. Should the same member be elected in several divl-
sions, the election of another member of the Committee
must be made in the Council itselfin the customary manner.
The members of the Council are at liberty to demand
inserted in the protocol, that they are in the minority when
voting on any case, and they may also take a reservation to
state their minority-votes, which they will then have to for
ward to the Chairman within given period to be fixed by
him. Such minority-votes are, however, only to be con-
sidered as having been made by the member or members
signing them.

Those elections, which the Council in accordance with

meeting in which the Chairman is elected IS b, unless the
Council has been convened after new elections of all the
members, in which case and if the Chairman finds reason to
