Immediately after the election of its president and vice-presidents, the Martinique assembly shall elect from among its members the Martinique executive council and its president.
The executive councillors and the president of the executive council shall be elected for the duration of the term of office of the councillors to the Martinique assembly, by list ballot with the submission of lists containing as many names as seats to be filled, without adding or deleting names and without changing the order of presentation. On each of the lists, the difference between the number of candidates of each sex may not be greater than one.
Each list is accompanied by a written statement setting out the broad guidelines that the candidates propose to follow in the context of their duties within the Executive Council.
If no list has obtained an absolute majority of the members of the Assembly in the first and second ballots, a third ballot is held. All the seats are awarded to the list that has obtained the most votes. In the event of a tie between the leading lists, these seats are awarded to the list whose candidates have the highest average age.
The President of the Executive Council of Martinique is the candidate appearing at the top of the elected list.
