Votes are taken by open ballot whenever one-sixth of the members present so request. In the event of a tie, the Chairman shall have the casting vote.
Nevertheless, votes on appointments shall always be by secret ballot.
However, the Territorial Council may unanimously decide not to proceed by secret ballot with appointments or presentations, unless a legislative or regulatory provision expressly provides for this method of voting.
The results of public ballots, stating the names of those voting, shall be reproduced in the minutes.
