When a municipal council is reduced to less than one third of its members, as a result of the abstention, prescribed by article L. 2131-11, of the municipal councillors who are interested in the enjoyment of the property and rights claimed by a section, the councillors required to abstain are replaced by an equal number of citizens drawn by lot by the representative of the State in the department from among the persons registered on the electoral rolls of the commune, with the exception of the members of the section.
